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.

Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover Studies of the Martian Atmosphere Over Jezero From Pressure Measurements

A. Sanchez-Lavega et al.

Summary: This study uses the pressure sensors on Mars rover Perseverance to measure the pressure field in the Jezero crater on an hourly basis. The study covers the period from sol 15 to sol 460, revealing the daily pressure cycle, seasonal evolution of the mean pressure field driven by CO2 sublimation and deposition at the poles, characterization of atmospheric tides and their relationship to dust content, wave disturbances with periods of 2-5 sols, short period oscillations interpreted as internal gravity waves, transient pressure drops produced by vortices, and turbulent fluctuations. The study also analyzes the effects of a regional dust storm over Jezero at L-s 155 degrees on pressure measurements.

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.

A. Spiga et al.

Summary: Studying the atmospheric planetary boundary layer is essential for understanding planetary climates. The meteorological measurements by InSight provide a unique dataset to analyze the turbulent dynamics of the Martian daytime PBL. The turbulence at the InSight landing site is very active, with identified convective cells and a large population of recorded vortices.
