| Description | Results are presented from a model of telescope observations that indicate a diurnal cycle exist, at least at one location, in the Martian atmosphere. By comparing calculated intensities with observed intensities of reflected sunlight, the diurnal variations in the optical thickness of the Olympus cloud that forms near the summit of Olympus Mons during summer was estimated. The results indicate that the optical depth at 0.4 microns rises sharply from near zero in late morning to about 0.8 in the early afternoon. |
