Introduction
Water Ice Clouds Play An Important Role In The Martian
Water Cycle And Climate. They Are A Major Actor In The
Inter-Hemispheric Water Exchange And Affect The Radiative Structure Of The Atmosphere, As Their Crystals Absorb
And Scatter The Incoming Solar Radiation [2, 6, And References Contained Within]. Thus, Monitoring The Spatial
And Temporal Evolution Of The Martian Water Ice Clouds,
Along With Their Physical Properties (Crystals Size, Opacity) Is Of Importance To Improve Our Understanding And
Modeling Of The Current Martian Climate.
