Scientific paper

International Planetary Patrol (IPP) photographs of Mars obtained during the 1971 and 1973 apparitions have been used to produce regression curves for the Martian south polar cap for those years. Useful data span the range in areocentric longitude of 186-261 deg in 1971 and 255-301 deg in 1973. These regression curves are compared to the 1977 regression curve obtained from Viking observations and to the results of 1956 observations. There is remarkable consistency between the 1971 IPP and 1977 Viking data points, and the 1973 regression does not appear to have differed significantly from those of 1971 or 1977.
