Scientific paper

Brief survey of the results of observations of Mars during periods of dust storms. An approximate method for the determination of the optical properties of dust particles from the results of polarimetric observations is described. The value of the real part of the complex refractive index of the particles is found to be n = 1.59 plus or minus 0.01 and is in good agreement with a hypothesis that they are of silicate nature. During the period of the maximum of the dust storm in 1971 the mean geometrical radius of the particles proved to be no smaller than 8 microns.
