If Navcam had color filters like Pancam or was a zoom-out wide-angle mode of Pancam, the best ice-cloud watching filter would be the shortest wavelength filter. Because of the reddish dust color, the diffuse scattered light from the dust is least at the shortest wavelengths and water or CO2 ice clouds would have the most contrast.
Dust clouds, as from a dust storm or dust devils will be reddish, and contrast with the sky will vary much less with wavelength. |
