Scientific paper
The observations contained in this proposal will complete a period of continuous monitoring of Mars which commenced in Cycle 6. The season of the observations on Mars, L_S = 140degrees to L_S = 197degrees has not been monitored in any of the previous cycles of HST observations. This season includes the formation of the north polar cap and hood system, a process which is not well documented; the start of the classic dust storm season on Mars, when large dust storms have often occurred; and an active cycle of small dust storms in Hellas. This is also the season when the water vapor freezes out of the northern hemisphere atmosphere; rapid changes in ozone distribution, which can be monitored by STIS, are probable. In addition, this period immediately follows the Pathfinder landing in Ares Valles and coincides with early phases of the MGS mission at Mars. The observations included in this proposal have the simultaneous goals of providing data to support those missions and elucidating dynamic processes on Mars as the season nears autumnal equinox.
