Scientific paper
High-quality Earth-based photographs from the Lowell Observatory Planetary Research Center collection have been analyzed to derive some photometric parameters for the Martian south polar cap region during the 1971 apparition. The optical thickness of the atmosphere above the cap varied with wavelength from 0.35±0.05 in red light to 0.58±0.06 in uv light. The effective geometric albedo is calculated from the 30° phase data assuming isotropic scattering; it varies from 0.85±0.04 (in red light) to 0.63±0.05 (in uv light).
