Understanding the density evolution of any ice deposits on the martian north polar residual cap is key to understanding whether the cap contains a climate record in the form of occluded samples of past atmospheres. We present a physical model for densification of water ice deposits on the cap due to

We have examined Viking Orbiter albedo, thermal, and atmospheric water vapor data acquired during Mars' northern summer season and compared these results with the imaging results of D. S. Bass, K. E. Herkenhoff, and D. A. Paige (2000, Icarus 144, 382-396). The Viking thermal mapper data show an incr

Previous studies interpreted differences in ice coverage between Mariner 9 and Viking Orbiter observations of Mars' north residual polar cap as evidence of interannual variability of ice deposition on the cap. However, these investigators did not consider the possibility that there could be signific
