Cerberus Region Seasonal Dune Monitoring

Cerberus Region Seasonal Dune Monitoring

The Way the Wind Blows
Our primary objective with this observation is to look at changes over several Mars years since earlier images we obtained in 2008. Bidirectional wind regimes were detected here so tighter imaging will help understand when east or north blowing winds dominate. These dunes are within an impact crater in the Cerberus Fossae region, in Elysium Planitia.
