Scientific paper

We report Mars Wind Tunnel experiments, finding a strong dependence of
wave height on atmospheric pressure. Energy transfer between air and sea
is suppressed at low pressures, perhaps explaining Mars’ lack of
shoreline features. Kerosene (an analog for Titan seas) builds larger
waves than water.
