Observational evidence of a suppressed planetary boundary layer in northern Gale Crater, Mars as seen by the Navcam instrument onboard the Mars Science …
Abstract The Navigation Cameras (Navcam) of the Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity,
have been used to examine two aspects of the planetary boundary layer: vertical dust
distribution and dust devil frequency. The vertical distribution of dust may be obtained by
using observations of the distant crater rim to derive a line-of-sight optical depth within Gale
Crater and comparing this optical depth to column optical depths obtained using Mastcam
observations of the solar disc. The line of sight method consistently produces lower …
