Scientific paper

Part I of this paper describes the outbreak of a planet-encircling dust storm in 2001 June, together with changes in albedo features on the planet. This paper (Part II) describes short-lived "flashes" located in Edom recorded on 2001 June 7 and 8, when the sub-Earth and subsolar latitudes coincided, due to specular reflection from near-horizontal ground ice/hydrated mineral deposit or other smooth surfaces. These events had been predicted from seasonally similar observations made in 1954. A further flash on June 16 was located further south near Hellespontus Montes, another region found to have a historical precursor for such an event. The North and South polar regions are also described.
