We present the results of eighteen months of observations of the seasonal caps of Mars based on data from the neutron spectroscopy of the surface by the Russian HEND Instrument mounted aboard the NASA 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft. A four-dimensional model of the Martian seasonal caps was developed on the basis of these observation data. The model shows how the thickness of the frozen carbon dioxide changes in different surface regions. Using the results of the model, we estimated the total mass of the seasonal caps for the period of maximal accumulation of seasonal depositions and the rates of condensation and sublimation of the seasonal cover.
