Abstract: | The 1979–1980 regression curve for the north polar cap of Mars, determined from Viking orbiter images, is compared to Viking observations of the same season 1 (Martin) year earlier and to telescopic observations. Differences between the two years cannot unambigously be attributed to dynamical effects because of uncertainties introduced by limited longitudinal coverage. |
