Mars Dust Storms May Be Predictable Based on Surface Heating Patterns https://ift.tt/nBrjZpP Mars Dust Storms May Be Predictable Based on Surface Heating Patterns New research has indicated a strong connection between warm, sunny days on Mars and the occurrence of dust storms, with nearly 78 percent of storms preceded by increased solar heating, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Washington, D.C. The study, led by Heshani Pieris and Paul Hayne of the University of Colorado, Boulder, analysed data from NASA'…
