Scientific paper

A table is presented correlating data on water vapor in the Mars atmosphere collected by five probes. The table indicates date, season and heliocentric longitude of observation, spatial resolution and coverage of the measurements, and data on the mean, maximal and minimal abundances of H2O and the probable nature of variations in these abundances. Several conclusions are drawn from the data: (1) the main cause of variations in the water vapor content is diurnal and seasonal variations in surface and lower-atmospheric temperatures, (2) relief has an effect on seasonal and diurnal variations, and (3) there are features of H2O abundance which are correlated neither with changes in temperature nor with changes in relief.
