Scientific paper

A history of developing opacity in the Mars southern hemisphere during the Viking extended mission has been compiled using orbiter images obtained at high altitude. Observations of changing contrasts under similar viewing conditions have been modeled by multiple-scattering intensity transfer equations that have produced a temporal description of changes in optical depth and particle-scattering properties within a network of control points. The results are presented in the form of Mercator and perspective plots for various dates.
