Feasibility of retrieving dust properties and total column water vapor from solar spectra measured using a lander camera on Mars

Abstract Dust and water vapor are important constituents in the Martian atmosphere, exerting significant influence on the heat balance of the atmosphere and surface. We have developed a method to retrieve optical and physical properties of Martian dust from spectral intensities of direct and scatter...
