A Reappraisal of Subtropical Subsurface Water Ice Stability on Mars
Abstract Massive reservoirs of subsurface water ice in equilibrium with atmospheric water vapor are found poleward of 45° latitude on Mars. The absence of CO2 frost on steep pole‐facing slopes and simulations of atmospheric‐soil water exchanges suggested that water ice could be stable underneath the...
