Abstract:
Dust And Water Ice Have An Intricate Relationship,
Where Dust Particles May Impact The Water Ice Both
Dynamically And Microphysically [1, 3, 6]. The Dynamical Relationship Between Dust And Water Ice Is
Emphasized In Several Studies, Which Is Not Valid For
The Dust-Cloud Microphysical Interaction, And Most Of
The Previous Studies Assumed Homogenous Nucleation
[2, 5]. The Microphysical Interaction Between Dust
And Water Ice Enables Water Vapor Saturation At Comparatively Lower Altitudes With Larger Particle Sizes,
Primarily Within -10–30°N Latitudes During The Aphelion Period. Therefore, We Have Analyzed The Evolution Of The Tropical Cloud Belt (Tcb) Within Northern
Spring And Summer (Solar Longitude (Ls) ~45–135°)
Using The Observations From Mars Climate Sounder
Onboard Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter [4]. A Northward Evolution Of The Cloud Belt Is Observed Starting
From Ls ~76°, Which Is The Peak Phase Of The Tcb.
This Variation Does Not Show Any Noticeable Match
