Martian climate: an empirical test of possible gross variations.

There appears to be evidence for a cyclic behavior of the Martian climate in which the surface pressure periodically reaches values compatible with the flow of water in equatorial regions on the planet. A relatively simple test of such hypotheses is pointed out. The premise on which cyclic models are based is that a substantial reservoir of volatils exist in frozen form at one or both poles. The proposed test involves a determination of the relative abundances of neon and argon isotopes. The required measurements may be made after the soft landing next February of Soviet spacecraft presently en route to the planet.
