On The Impact of the Vertical Structure of Martian Water Ice Clouds on Nadir Atmospheric Retrievals from Simultaneous EMM/EXI and TGO/ACS-MIR Observations
Retrieving the optical depth of the Martian clouds (τcld) is a powerful way to monitor their spatial and temporal evolution. However, such retrievals from nadir imagery rely on several assumptions, […]
