Fig. 6: Atmospheric pressure variability as a consequence of various dynamic mechanisms at various scales.

a, Seasonal evolution of daily mean pressure values and their daily ranges. b, Detrended standard deviation of pressure, as a function of sol and LTST, after subtracting least squares fit of the observed pressure. Removing the tidal components shows that the dominant contribution to pressure variability occurs during the hours with strong convection and after a calm period. c, The first three components of the Fourier analysis of the pressure cycle: diurnal (24 h period; black), semidiurnal (12 h period; blue) and terdiurnal (6 h period; red) components. d, Equivalent Fourier analysis of the temperature data at z = 1.45 m: diurnal (blue) and semidiurnal (red) components.
