The Emirates Mars Exploration Project – Hope Probe, announced that the digital exploration camera detected a spiral storm on December 3, 2021 from an altitude of regarding 28,000 km, in the middle of summer in the northern half of Mars.
And he added in a tweet he posted yesterday on Twitter that the EXI digital exploration camera revealed in the early morning a large “spiral storm” covering most of the north pole region of Mars and the surrounding polar plains. The storm included dust clouds (the eye of the storm is an earthy color), water ice, and oxidized clouds (clear white).
Throughout the morning (center right), he continued, diffuse clouds of water ice and ground mist swirled from night to sunrise; It will soon dissipate as the temperature rises in the atmosphere.
He explained that the digital exploration camera system, which is part of the Emirates Mars Exploration Project, collects images at three visible wavelengths and two ultraviolet wavelengths, which provides satellite images of the weather of the Red Planet.
The project explained that the color composite displayed here is collected in the captured images, by means of the blue, green and red digital exploration camera filters; Centered at 437, 546, and 635 nanometers, north to higher, the contrast was adjusted to improve the visibility of surface and atmospheric features.
