Extended Data Fig. 3: Comparison of middle atmosphere water retrievals.
From: Martian water loss to space enhanced by regional dust storms
From top to bottom, water retrieved in the Northern Hemisphere by ACS and NOMAD; MCS water retrievals using the methods of Heavens et al. 2018; and Southern Hemisphere water retrievals from ACS and NOMAD. Data presented in the text comes from the Southern Hemisphere, from ACS before Ls 330, and from NOMAD afterward. Color scales are unique to each instrument for clarity, but because these schemes are perceptual the perceived darkness in each panel is a trustworthy indicator of the water abundance retrieved. ACS retrieved abundances are higher than NOMAD abundances and display larger variations; MCS retrievals are higher than both and limited in altitude range.
