Scientific paper

The OMEGA imaging spectrometer on board the ESA/Mars Express mission has detected and mapped H2O ice clouds during three years of in orbit operations (01/2004 to 12/2006), covering a wide range of latitudes, longitudes and seasons. H2O ice is detected through its diagnostic absorption at 1.5 micrometers coupled to absorption at 1.25 micrometers when in the form of surface frost, which enables to discriminate between these two states. When present, CO2 frost is detected through its specific CO2 ice absorption at 1.435 micrometers. We will present the results compiling the entire data set, and compare them to the current atmospheric evolutionary models.
