Description

This repository contains: 1. Global calculated CO2 frost point temperatures (Kelvin) calculated at 1 ppd every 10 Ls using surface pressure from the online version of the Mars Climate Database (http://www-mars.lmd.jussieu.fr/mcd_python/) CO2 Frost Points 2. Local Solar Time and Season of THEMIS CO2 Frost Detections at gully locations corr_gully_detections_filenames_meta 3. Calculated CO2 frost amounts (kg/m^2) at 30S, 40S, 50S and 60S on pole-facing slopes Frost Amounts 4. Calculated CO2 frost amounts (kg/m^2) varying with lower material thermal inertia, slope azimuth, top material thermal inertia, top material thickness and surface albedo Frost Sensitivity 5. Predicted H2O frost lifetimes (hours) H2OFrost_Stability 6. Global THEMIS CO2 Frost Detections from Mars Year (MY) 26 MY26_THEMIS_CO2_Frost_Detections 7.
