Mars 19 August Dust storm imaged from MRO by C.Foster
Since the detection of the storm early on the 18th August, I have been fortunate to have ongoing interaction with Dr Bruce Cantor of Malin Space Science Systems who processes the data from the MARCI camera on board the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter(MRO).
He has very kindly given me permission to share the attached preliminary global map (credit NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/ B Cantor) from the 19th August, showing the status of the storm (left of centre) a day after detection. North is at top, with Syrtis Major to the right and a dusty Hellas at lower right.
My sincere thanks to Bruce for permission to share the map and also for the interaction.
