Some aspects of the Martian climate in the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) investigation. Part I. Evolution of the polar residual ice caps. Part II. Polar night clouds. Part III. Interpretation of the MOLA reflectivity measurement in terms of the surface albedo and atmospheric opacity

<p>The spacecraft exploration of the planet Mars in the last two decades provided scientists with an enormously rich data base. This work presents some aspects of the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter investigation related to the issues in the Martian climatology. The instrument continues to fun...
