TES overlayed on MOLA DEM

Jet Propulsion Laboratory https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/ Aug. 17, 1999
NASA's Mars Global Surveyor shows cold spots attributed to surface spectral emissivity effects on Mars.

This image is TES thermal data (Orbit 222) overlayed on the MOLA DEM. The color scale is TES T18-T25, which is a cold spot index. The grey scale is MOLA elevation in kilometers. Most cold spots can be attributed to surface spectral emissivity effects. Regions that are colored black-violet-blue have near unity emissivity and are coarse grained CO2. Regions that are yellow-red are fined grained CO2. The red-white spot located approximately 300W85N is our most likely candidate for a CO2 snow storm.
