Scientific paper

A new strategy of getting insight into the problems of meteorology and climate system of Mars is discussed. The concept of a very small and cheap project targeted specifically to in-depth atmospheric study and based on modern technology is addressed. The basic scientific rationale pursues the idea to use microstations network distributed judiciously by latitude and longitude over the Martian surface, together with a Mars orbiter placed at near-polar orbit. Every microstation provides essentially continuous measurements of temperature, pressure, wind direction, velocity and atmospheric turbulence, solar incident direct and scattered radiation and net thermal flux, as well as variation of the abundance of trace gases and aerosols. These measurements are complemented by regular measurements of the temperature profiles, water vapor abundancies and aerosol distributions from the orbiter, that controls operation of the network and serves for data collection, compression and relay.
