Introduction
Nasa’S Insight Lander Is The First Seismology Station Sent
To Mars, Where It Has Been Studying The Interior Structure
Of The Planet Since November 2018. To Interpret Possible
“Marsquakes” And Other Observations Correctly, It Carries
A Weather Station That Measures Pressure (Ps) And Nearsurface Winds (Twins) At High Frequency (Banfield Et Al.
2020). One Aspect Of Martian Meteorology That Is Poorly
Understood Is Small-Scale Turbulence. By Observing At
Such High Frequency, Insight Provides A Unique Dataset
That Can Be Used To Study Mars Small-Scale Turbulence.
We Have Used Insight Wind And Surface Pressure
Measurements To Study Atmospheric Turbulence Around
The Lander. In Particular, The Turbulent Structure Functions Quantify Correlations In Wind Speed And Direction
