The brightness distribution of the Mars surface was measured at the wavelength of about 1.4 microns by a photometer aboard the Mars-3 spacecraft. The regions measured include the continents, seas and the polar cap. The photometric profiles contain many fine details connected with variations in the albedo and slopes in the surface. The optical thickness of dust storms was determined on the basis of variations in sea-continent contrast.
