Scientific paper

Mars-3 electrophotometric data on the big dust storm of 1971 and on condensation clouds in the region of the north polar cap are examined. Three methods for estimating the mean size of dust storm particles gave a mean radius of 1 micrometer or less. The typical optical thickness of the dust storm was found to vary from 2 to 10 and the mean particle concentration was 30-150/cu cm, while the mass density was (4-20) x 10 to the -10 g/cu cm. The condensation clouds were studied on the basis of two models, one characterized by particles of the optical thickness of water ice and carbon dioxide, the other by materials of considerably higher absorption.
