Fig. 6: Combined surface ice distributions across obliquity scenarios.

From: Precipitation induced by explosive volcanism on Mars and its implications for unexpected equatorial ice

Fig. 6

a–e Modeled ice fields represent the resulting distribution one year following an eruption from Syrtis Major (67.17°E, 9°N) and Apollinaris Mons (174.4°E, −8.5°S). As the obliquity is varied, parameters are fixed at baseline conditions as listed in Table 2. Red lines represent equatorial regions containing high excess hydrogen (i.e., >10 wt% WEH). Modeled distributions are overlaid onto a cylindrical projection of Mars. Black lines represent MOLA topographic contours, with numbers indicating contour elevations in kilometers.
