Introduction:
The Arcadia Planitia (Fig. 1) Is One Of The Most
Outstanding Dust Storm Zones In The Northern Midlatitudes On Mars. Wang, Zurek, & Richardson
(2005) And Guzewich Et Al. (2015) Showed That The
Northern Mid-Latitude Dust Storms Tended To Occur In
Three Regions, The Acidalia, The Arcadia, And Utopia.
Kulowski, Wang, & Toigo (2017) Reported That Most
Of Dust Storms Observed In The Three Regions Were
Categorized Into “Plume-Like Dust Storm”, Which Is
Apparently Different From Dust Storms That Tend To Be
Observed In The Low-Latitudes And The Southern Midlatitudes. Mars. Wang, Zurek, & Richardson (2005)
Additionally Revealed That The Dust Storm Frequency
Got Lower Near The Northern Winter Solstice In The
Regions And Was Associated With The Eddy Activity In
The Northern Mid-Latitudes. The Eddy Activity They
Mentioned Means The Baroclinic Instability And The
Associated Frontal System. Although I Agree With
