This report is an analisis of the 2003 Mars apparition from worldwilde amateur observations. The 2003 apparition takes place one martian year after the 2001 great dust storms. While spectacular technical progress among amateurs has been underway during the whole year, only moderate activity has been seen on the planet itself. As expected the dark albedo markings presented a quite different pattern from what it has been during the 1990's, because of the 2001 dust activity. The South polar cap displayed its usual sublimation processus, revealing progressively mythical parts or outliers like the famous Mitchell Mounts. Atmospheric activity was only moderate as two regional storms has been observed in july and December. However, more interesting is the explanation of dust starting conditions by the advance of northern polar dust fronts into the southern hemisphere, finally triggering a bigger activity.
