Description
Water ice clouds have been observed in the Martian atmosphere since 1972, but as recent studies have shown their important role in the martian climate there is a growing need to better characterize the properties of water ice aerosols with observational constraints.
The Atmospheric Chemistry Suite (ACS) instrument onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) ESA-Roscosmos mission began science operations in March 2018. Here we use the Solar Occultation IR observations in the 3 µm region of the Mid-Infrared (MIR) channel to monitor the water ice clouds in the Martian atmosphere before and during the 2018 Global Dust Storm, and retrieve their particles sizes.
