From the Mission Status at the NASA/JPL site:
QUOTE Sol 620: The rover's observations used its panoramic camera to observe a feature informally named "Mogollon Rim" (for an area in Arizona) and onboard magnets. It also checked for dust devils. My feeling is that the dust devils, "convective wind events" or whatever occur at Meridiani just as at Gusev. Whereas Gusev is dustier, we are able to see the dust devils and the tracks they leave but Meridiani has a cleaner surface covered with the blueberry pavement/armor and the DDs are less visible. --Bill -------------------- |
