Abstract
Diurnal and annual water cycles are studied during the first year of Perseverance rover in Jezero, using observations from the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) and column modeling. Areal values for the ground thermal inertia (TI) and albedo are first found at one site by fitting model temperatures to the observed air temperatures. Areal soil porosity and the initial water vapor volume mixing ratios (vmr) are next found via model-vmr fits to the observation-based vmr. The meteorology and physics of the modeled air and subsurface diurnal moisture cycle at the site is then discussed in detail. The process of fit to observations is finally extended to fourteen sites along the Perseverance track, resulting in estimates for areal TI, albedo and porosity at these sites, and in MEDA-based initial estimates for the annual and diurnal moisture cycles at Jezero during MY36.
期刊介绍：
Icarus is devoted to the publication of original contributions in the field of Solar System studies. Manuscripts reporting the results of new research - observational, experimental, or theoretical - concerning the astronomy, geology, meteorology, physics, chemistry, biology, and other scientific aspects of our Solar System or extrasolar systems are welcome. The journal generally does not publish papers devoted exclusively to the Sun, the Earth, celestial mechanics, meteoritics, or astrophysics. Icarus does not publish papers that provide "improved" versions of Bode''s law, or other numerical relations, without a sound physical basis. Icarus does not publish meeting announcements or general notices. Reviews, historical papers, and manuscripts describing spacecraft instrumentation may be considered, but only with prior approval of the editor. An entire issue of the journal is occasionally devoted to a single subject, usually arising from a conference on the same topic. The language of publication is English. American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these.
