Scientific paper

The current dynamical influence of the Martian atmosphere on the surface is clearly revealed by dark surface albedo features which are associated with localized topographic relief and were described in detail and classified as Type I(d) wind streaks. The contrast of the streaks diminishes or disappears during the global dust storms, and the streaks are observed to quickly reform after the termination of the storms; the streaks remain stable after LS = 0 deg until the next dust storm. These observations, together with the ragged edges of the streaks, were used to infer that the dark streaks are formed by the removal of bright dust from a darker substrate.
