Abstract

Water-ice clouds are common across the Solar System, but their formation typically requires pre-existing dust particles to coax water vapour into ice. Atmospheric simulations now suggest that gravity waves over a Martian volcano can bypass the need for dust, generating ice clouds through spontaneous nucleation of water vapour.

火星波浪产生的冰云

水冰云在太阳系中很常见，但它们的形成通常需要预先存在的尘埃粒子来将水蒸气诱导成冰。大气模拟现在表明，火星火山上空的重力波可以绕过对尘埃的需求，通过水蒸气的自发成核产生冰云。
