To observe the polarization effects we can look for the difference in the two photographs. A projection device that emphasizes this difference is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":307652,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Meteorological Optics","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115104987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On Earth, similar layers of water ice clouds produce a 22 degree halo and associated parhelia, known as sundogs. Will the CO2 ice clouds of Mars produce halos and sundogs? If so, at what angles? To calculate the angles at which halos might appear, the shape of CO2 ice crystals on Mars and their index of refraction are needed. Crystals of CO2 ice were grown in a laboratory chamber under Martian atmospheric conditions; atmospheric pressure2 of 0.73 kPa, and CO2 sublimation temperature3 of 148 K. A literature search produced an estimate of the index of refraction of CO2 ice under these same conditions. Angles of CO2 ice crystal halos were then calculated to be 26±3 and 38±5 degrees from the sun.","PeriodicalId":307652,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Meteorological Optics","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130655215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
