Of Maximum Solar Radiation In Their Local Time. This
Suggests That The Temporal Variation Of Solar Radiation
Due To The Revolution Of Mars Is Primarily Responsible For The Two-Peak Pattern Of Temporal Distribution.
The Spatial Distributions Of Dds Both In Za And
Zb Are Mainly Related To The Distribution Of Sensible
Heat Flux And Surface-To-Air Temperature Difference.
In Za, Solar Radiation At Surface Dominates The Spatial Distribution Of Sensible Heat Flux, Thus Causing
The Particular Spatial Distribution Of Dlif. In Zb, Our
Results Suggest That The Spatial Distribution Of Surfaceto-Air Temperature Difference And Sensible Heat Flux
Are Mainly Determined By The Albedo, And So The Resulting Dlif Is Concentrated In The Northwest. The
Surrounding Topography Has Little Effect On The Distribution Of The Predicted Dds. In The Southeast Corner
Of Zb, The Surface-To-Air Temperature Difference Is
Relatively Small Which Is Not Favorable For The Occurrence Of Dds.
