Photometric data from the bright desert areas of Mars were used to determine the dependence of the three photometric parameters of the photometric function on wavelength and to provide qualitative predictions about the physical properties of the surface. Knowledge of the parameters allowed the brightness of these areas of Mars to be determined for any scattering geometry in the wavelength range of 0.45 to 0.70 micron. The changes that occur in the photometric parameters due to changes in wavelength were shown to be consistent with their physical interpretations, and the predictions of surface properties were shown to be consistent with conditions expected to exist in these regions of Mars. The photometric function was shown to have potential as a diagnostic tool for the qualitative determination of surface properties, and the consistency of the behavior of the photometric parameters was considered to be support for the validity of the photometric function.
