Scientific paper

THEMIS offers a unique opportunity to examine mesoscale atmospheric features on Mars in the visible and infrared. The high spatial resolution (˜100 meter per pixel) of the system comes at the cost of imaging spatial coverage, requiring atmospheric features to be targeted. Over the course of the past year, we have been targeting areas and features identified in MOC WA imaging as part of a THEMIS ``atmospheric campaign." These features include topographic cloud systems, polar hood clouds, convective clouds, local dust storms in Hellas and along the retreating edge of the southern seasonal ice cap, and dust fronts in the northern high latitudes. Typically 2-3 band color images and 3-10 band infrared images have been acquired, both with roughly 100 meters per pixel. We will describe the targeting and its rationale, show initial results from the campaign, and provide some interpretation of observed features.
