Most martian visibles clouds only hovers at high altitude. These are found around Olympus, Tharsis mountains, Alba Patera, above the Margaritifer Terra, Meridian Planum and most of South polar region: Planum Australe.

"...Pathfinder lander 35-100 minutes prior to sunrise on Sol 39..." does not sound like a day time observation from above. So there is a difference in the data sets. And the Mariner 6 and 7 data was specifically addressed by the paper, so we don't need to go into that again.

QUOTE (MarsIsImportant @ Jan 20 2008, 03:15 PM)  "...Pathfinder lander 35-100 minutes prior to sunrise on Sol 39..." does not sound like a day time observation from above. So there is a difference in the data sets. And the Mariner 6 and 7 data was specifically addressed by the paper, so we don't need to go into that again. That is such a nuanced difference, given that CO2 clouds were known, and the size measured by Mars Express was well within the upper limits. The Pathfinder data is also very relevant. The team indicates that they have found an unexpected phenomenon, not simply a phenomenon not yet observed in the day. At any rate, this discussion is becoming a moronic and a waste of time. -------------------- |
