Time variations of Mars' gravitational field and seasonal changes in the masses of the polar ice caps

Time variations of Mars' gravitational field and seasonal changes in the masses of the polar ice caps

Tracking of the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has been used to measure changes in the long-wavelength gravity field of Mars and to estimate the seasonal mass of carbon dioxide that is deposited in the polar regions each fall and winter and sublimed back into the atmosphere every spring and summer....
