A Map of slope streak (bright, white; dark, black) and RSL (red) distribution; FREND (Fine-Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector84) water equivalent hydrogen (WEH) map and Viking merged color mosaic in the background. B Joyplots (showing kernel density estimates) of slope streak (bright, tan; dark, solid black), RSL (red), and background (black line) FREND WEH, GRS (Gamma Ray Spectrometer85) H2O, and GRS H values (left) and MCD water vapor column for Ls 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° at 12 PM LST34 (right). Average values indicated. Note that the locations of bright and dark streaks tend to feature slightly higher FREND WEH values than GRS H values; note that GRS H and H2O are nearly (but not entirely) identical.
