解説(安達)/ Comment by Makoto Adachi
 Clyde Foster氏の画像からはSolis Lacusの上にあるぼんやりした雲は、どうやら地表に堆積した砂のようで、昨日と変化していない。
Mare Acidariumの北に明るいダストストームを観測しているが、これも堆積した砂の可能性がある。IRで明るい部分には注意を要する。
 Mare Cimmerium付近は、前日に細いベルト状にできたダストストームの帯が発達し、目立った姿をしている。 Randy Tatum・
Efrain Morales Rivera・Damian Peach各氏がこの様子を記録している。Damian Peach氏の画像には南極冠のエッジ(東西の中央部)に、
目立ったダストストームを記録している。形状から見て、この場所で発生しものではないかと思われる。この姿はEfrain Morales 
Rivera氏の画像にもよく現われている。特にこのEfrain Morales Rivera氏の画像には、このダストストーム発生に伴い、白雲が発生し、
極冠よりも北側に広がった姿が記録された。新しいダストストームの発生を印象付けるものとなった。

From the image of Mr. Clyde Foster, the blurry clouds on Solis Lacus are apparently like sands accumulated on the surface, 
which has not changed since yesterday. We are observing a bright dust storm to the north of Mare Acidarium, but this also has the possibility 
of sediment deposited. Attention is required on the bright part of IR.
In the vicinity of Mare Cimmerium, the belt of dust storm which was made into a thin belt shape on the previous day developed and has 
a conspicuous figure. Mr. Randy Tatum、Efrain Morales Rivera, Damian Peach have recorded this situation. In the image of 
Mr. Damian Peach, a remarkable dust storm is recorded at the edge of the SPC (in the center of the east and west). From the shape, 
it seems to be occurring in this place. This figure also appears frequently in Mr. Efrain Morales Rivera's image. Especially in the image 
of Mr. Efrain Morales Rivera, as a result of this dust storm occurred, a cloud occurred and the appearance spreading to the north side than 
the polar cap was recorded. It gave an impression of the occurrence of a new dust storm. .

Feature continue to be faint without filters.  The SPC/Hood was hard to detect.
There appeared to be a bluish cloud over Electris/Eridania.

A morning session on 17th June did not produce any decent RGB data. However,the IR was reasonable,
and appears to confirm that Tharsis and Solis Lacus remain relatively dust free at this stage.


A pre-midnight capture from last night,at CM21,with slightly improved conditions.
Quite a bit of subtle structure and detail is see in the dust storm region,particularly in the IR image.

Some moments of good seeing on the 17th, but the planet it mostly shrouded in a dust haze. 
Even the SPC is largely obscured. Clearer skies over Sinus Gomer for the Spirit rover.
