Evaluating Atmospheric and Surface Drivers for O2 Variations at Gale Crater as Observed by MSL SAM

Evaluating Atmospheric and Surface Drivers for O2 Variations at Gale Crater as Observed by MSL SAM

We explore and evaluate various processes that could drive the variations in the volume mixing ratio (VMR) of atmospheric O _2 observed by the quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) of the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover. First reported...
