Abstract The NOMAD (“Nadir and Occultation for MArs Discovery”) spectrometer suite on
board the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) has been designed to investigate the …

In November 2018, for the first time a dedicated geophysical station, the InSight lander, will
be deployed on the surface of Mars. Along with the two main geophysical packages, the …

The HITRAN database is a compilation of molecular spectroscopic parameters. It was
established in the early 1970s and is used by various computer codes to predict and …

Global dust storms on Mars are rare, but can affect the Martian atmosphere for several
months. They can cause changes in atmospheric dynamics and inflation of the atmosphere …

Mars has lost most of its initial water to space as atomic hydrogen and oxygen. Spacecraft
measurements have determined that present-day hydrogen escape undergoes large …

The loss of water from Mars to space is thought to result from the transport of water to the
upper atmosphere, where it is dissociated to hydrogen and escapes the planet. Recent …

The detection of methane on Mars has been interpreted as indicating that geochemical or
biotic activities could persist on Mars today. A number of different measurements of methane …

It has been suggested that dust storms efficiently transport water vapor from the near‐
surface to the middle atmosphere on Mars. Knowledge of the water vapor vertical profile …

Reports of methane detection in the Martian atmosphere have been intensely debated. The
presence of methane could enhance habitability and may even be a signature of life …

Abstract The Nadir and Occultation for MArs Discovery (NOMAD) instrument on board
ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter measured a large increase in water vapor at altitudes in the …
