Mars Weather Forecast

At the poles of Mars, even carbon dioxide freezes into ice at such low temperatures. Dry ice forms thick ice caps at the poles of Mars, just like the icebergs at the North and South Poles on Earth. These natural conditions constitute a unique climate environment on Mars. Compared with Earth, the conditions on Mars, although harsh, appear stable. Thin clouds and low temperatures that remain constant all year round often make people feel that there is nothing particularly noteworthy about the weather on Mars. But in fact, Mars also has its moments of sudden changes. Janyok said that there are huge dust storms on Mars. These dust storms will erupt every 2-4 Martian years. When they erupt, dust rises from the surface of Mars, covering the entire Mars in an instant, and then disappears for several months. will disperse.

"In addition to changes in temperature, these strong winds and sandstorms are also what we need to master and forecast." Janyok said. Together with his team, he will closely monitor and analyze data related to Mars weather and provide the results directly to NASA's Mars research departments.
