The dynamic atmospheric and aeolian environment of Jezero crater, Mars

Claire E. Newman et al.

Summary: Despite the lack of in situ quantification for the processes of sand movement and dust raising on Mars, the Perseverance rover's environmental sensors and the dusty environment of Jezero crater provide a remedy to this problem. The rover observed convective vortices raising dust locally, with an average of four vortices passing by daily, and over 25% of them being significantly dusty. In addition, nonvortex wind gusts produced by daytime convection cells advected over the crater by strong regional daytime upslope winds were found to be capable of lifting considerable amounts of dust.

The lithified aeolian dune field adjacent to the Apollinaris Sulci, Mars: Geological history and paleo-wind record

Amanda R. G. Hunt et al.

Summary: A lithified aeolian dune field in the Apollinaris Sulci region of Mars offers a unique opportunity to study ancient aeolian processes and paleo-wind conditions. The preserved dunes and yardangs in the area indicate different wind directions and changing climates over time. The coexistence of various martian bedforms suggests similar aeolian dynamics in the Hesperian epoch as observed today.

Diurnal Variability in Aeolian Sediment Transport at Gale Crater, Mars

Mariah M. Baker et al.

Summary: High resolution cameras on the Curiosity rover have captured detailed images of active aeolian processes on Mars. These images reveal that dune migration is influenced by diurnal wind variability and nighttime saltation fluxes are roughly four times larger than daytime fluxes. The observations suggest that intermittent, low-flux saltation events are driving the bedform migration.

Ancient Winds, Waves, and Atmosphere in Gale Crater, Mars, Inferred From Sedimentary Structures and Wave Modeling

D. M. Rubin et al.

Summary: Wave modeling and sedimentary structure analysis suggest that some bedforms in Gale crater sandstones may be preserved wave ripples, indicating that the lake was not covered by ice. However, other bedforms are interpreted as aeolian ripples formed in a thin atmosphere. The presence of predominantly flat-laminated beds in the lake suggests that conditions were not conducive to the formation and preservation of recognizable wave ripples, possibly due to deep water, fine-grained sediment, or ice cover.

A distinct ripple-formation regime on Mars revealed by the morphometrics of barchan dunes

Lior Rubanenko et al.

Summary: This study provides evidence that large martian ripples form from the same hydrodynamic instability as windblown dunes and subaqueous ripples. Artificial neural network analysis of isolated barchan dunes on Mars reveals that the size of the smallest dunes decreases with increasing atmospheric density.

Local Wind Regime Induced by Giant Linear Dunes: Comparison of ERAS-Land Reanalysis with Surface Measurements

Cyril Gadal et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of large-scale dune patterns on atmospheric flows by comparing surface wind measurements with climate reanalysis predictions in Namibia. The results show that the observed wind patterns align with predictions in desert plains and during the day in interdune areas. However, during the night, an additional wind component aligned with the giant dune orientation is measured, indicating a deviation from the predicted easterly wind. The study suggests that this wind deviation is linked to the daily cycle of the atmospheric boundary layer.

The dynamic atmospheric and aeolian environment of Jezero crater, Mars

Claire E. Newman et al.

Summary: Despite the importance of sand and dust to Mars, the processes that move sand and produce dust storms have not been well quantified. The Perseverance rover's sensors and the dusty environment of Jezero crater provide an opportunity to study these processes. The rover observed local dust raised by convective vortices, as well as dusty vortices passing the rover daily. Nonvortex wind gusts also lifted dust, driven by daytime convection cells and strong upslope winds.

Circadian Rhythm of Dune-Field Activity

A. Gunn et al.

Summary: Research shows that sand and dust in desert areas experience a daily rhythm of nonequilibrium atmospheric boundary layer convection, leading to significant sand transport phenomena. A global analysis reveals a connection between surface wind speed and diurnal temperature cycles, contributing to climate feedback mechanisms that may impact desert expansion and dune activity on Mars.
