Document Summary
9:09 pm: why study atm, weather, climate on mars, sources for atm, volcanic outgassing on mars. Lp due to decrease gas and atm loss. Lt due to sun-mars distance and thin atm: interaction btwn surface and atm on mars, bombardment. Not uniform: atm of mars, clouds, precipitation expansion and increase with h in upper atm bc dust can absorb solar rad and heat air. Like venus, simpler vertical structure: decrease with h in lower atm due to cooling with. Made of h2o, ice co2 ice, and dust. No raining but perhaps rivers and oceans.
