Hst Proposal Id #9975 Solar System

Scientific paper

We propose to utilize the unique UV capabilities of STIS and ACS/HRC in order to study the spatial and seasonal variations in ozone, condensates, and dust in the Martian atmosphere. The data obtained will be critical in addressing recent breakthroughs in understanding the basic radiative, transport, and microphysical processes that provide for both long-term and short-term balance within the global Mars climate system. The proposal includes both Cycle 11 & 12 observations in order to span the classic dust storm season on Mars and provide the first good opportunity for HST to observe a dusty atmosphere on the planet. The UV observations will complement visible and IR observations that will be made during the Mars Global Surveyor Extended Mission and will provide support for the future UV observations of MARCI on the 2005 Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
