This review describes the dynamic phenomena in the atmosphere of Mars that are visible in images taken in the visual range through cloud formation and dust lifting.
We describe the properties of atmospheric features traced by aerosols covering a large range of spatial and temporal scales, including dynamical interpretations and modelling when available.
We present the areographic distribution and the daily and seasonal cycles of those atmospheric phenomena.
We rely primarily on images taken by cameras on Mars Express.
