I agree with the VIMS group on this one. I just can't see how a line of volcanoes or cracks right at this latitude across thousands of miles could exist. Most likely we are looking at convection driven by general circulation.

WRT the Roe et al. paper, I don't think the question is why the clouds preferentially form near 0 and 90 degrees west, but why the DON'T seem to form as often at other locations along 40 degrees south.
