The Antares project "Mars Small-Scale Weather" (MSW) has recently identified some minor weaknesses in current global climate models (GCMs) due to the GCMs' more primitive soil modeling. "Heat admission to the ground and back is quite important in Mars, so soil schemes have to be quite accurate."
Under dusty conditions, the suspended dust particles can reduce the surface diurnal temperature range to only 5 °C. [133] The temperature above 15 km is controlled by radiative processes instead of convection. [2] Mars is also a rare exception to the "0.1-bar tropopause" rule found in the other atmospheres in our solar system. [134]
Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our oceans, according to new research. Mars could be driving ‘giant whirlpools’ in the Earth’s deep ...
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover used its right-front navigation camera to capture this first view over the rim of Jezero Crater on Dec. 10, 2024, the 1,354th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
Current conditions in the Martian atmosphere, at less than 1 kPa (0.15 psi) of atmospheric pressure, are significantly below the Armstrong limit of 6 kPa (0.87 psi) where very low pressure causes exposed bodily liquids such as saliva, tears, and the liquids wetting the alveoli within the lungs to boil away.

The Close Approach happens every two years, but Tuesday's encounter at 38.6 million miles away will be the closest to Earth that Mars gets until 2035
The central region of Beacon Valley is considered to be one of the best terrestrial analogues for the current conditions on Mars. There is snowdrift and limited melting around the edges and occasionally in the central region, but for the most part, moisture is only found as thin films of brine around permafrost structures.
