Updated dust scattering properties derived from the 2018 global dust storm
Résumé
The Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) instrument on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft takes mid-UV spectral images of the Martian surface and atmosphere. From these apoapse images, information about dust and ice aerosols can be retrieved and comprise the only MAVEN observations of clouds and airborne dust. Measuring local time variability of large-scale recurring features is made possible with MAVEN's ~4.5-hour elliptical orbit, something not possible with sun-synchronous orbits.
