Скачать или смотреть Katabatic Winds on Mars and Dust Devils — Link Between Atmospheric Circulation and Surface Processes

On Mars, katabatic winds are a common feature of the planet's polar regions. These winds are generated when the Martian atmosphere cools down and becomes denser at night, causing air to flow downhill towards the planet's lower elevations. The cold air gathers momentum as it descends, resulting in strong and gusty winds that can reach speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. I've made 3D visualisation of Mars seen from space.

Katabatic winds on Mars have significant impacts on the planet's topography and surface processes. They can erode and shape the Martian landscape over time, carving out deep channels and canyons in the surface. These winds can also transport dust and sand across the planet's surface, creating vast dune fields and affecting the planet's climate by redistributing heat and moisture.
