Determining Nighttime Atmospheric Optical Depth Using Mars Exploration Rover Images

Martian clouds and dust play an important part of the radiative transfer and energy balance budget. To assist in fully understanding the impact of clouds and dust, the complete diurnal cycle needs to be characterized. One of the best methods to track diurnal variations on Mars is by measuring optica...
