Enhanced Super‐Rotation Before and During the 2018 Martian Global Dust Storm
Abstract Super‐rotation affects—and is affected by—the distribution of dust in the martian atmosphere. We modeled this interaction during the 2018 global dust storm (GDS) of Mars Year 34 using data assimilation. Super‐rotation increased by a factor of two at the peak of the GDS, as compared to the s...
