Data provided by recent spacecraft missions to Mars include determinations of the properties and effects of aerosols suspended in the Martian atmosphere. Comparison of alternative procedures used to remotely sense the aerosol properties as well as analyses of these methodologies may have relevance for analogous procedures being developed to study terrestrial aerosols with satellite-borne sensors. In addition, Martian aerosols appear to have played a role in climate changes that may have terrestrial counterparts. Of particular concern are observations made from the Mariner 9 orbiter spacecraft, which studied Mars during 1971 and 1972, and the Viking orbiter and lander spacecraft, which conducted measurements commencing in the middle of 1976 and continuing through the present. Two global dust storms were observed from their commencement to their demise.
