A Map of slope streak (bright, white; dark, black) and RSL (red) distribution; MCD thermal amplitude (noon-midnight) at Ls 90° in the background34. B Joyplot (showing kernel density estimates) of slope streak (bright, tan; dark, solid black), RSL (red), and background (black line) MCD diurnal temperature amplitude (left) and diurnal noon temperature (right) for Ls 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. The temperature range between 273 and 283 K that (theoretically) provides conditions for liquid water on the surface of Mars (in some regions) is indicated in blue. Average values indicated.
