How frequently do global dust storms occur on Mars? I know there was one in 2001 and one in 1971 but that's all I'm aware of. Surely there must have been many more recorded in the last century.

QUOTE (deglr6328 @ Oct 25 2005, 07:31 AM) How frequently do global dust storms occur on Mars? I know there was one in 2001 and one in 1971 but that's all I'm aware of. Surely there must have been many more recorded in the last century. Somewhere I heard a quote that there had been 10 recorded since 1877. Looking into it a bit further there appear to have planet wide storms in 1877 (Schiaparelli), 1909, 1924, 1941, 1956, 1971 (Mariner 9), 1973, 1977 (x2? Viking), 1994 and 2001.
