A fine grained magnetic iron oxide precipitate found in Denmark has been studied with regard to grain size, magnetic properties, aerosol transport, grain electrification, aggregation and optical reflectance. It has shown itself to be a good Martian dust analogue. The fraction of the Salten Skov I soil sample <63 μm was separated from the natural sample by dry sieving. This fraction could be dispersed by ultrasonic treatment into grains of diameter ˜1 μm, in reasonable agreement with suspended dust grains in the Martian atmosphere estimated from the Viking, Pathfinder and Mars Exploration Rover missions. Though mineralogical and chemical differences exist between this analogue and Martian dust material, in wind tunnel experiments many of the physical properties of the atmospheric dust aerosol are reproduced.
