Average insolation on mars?
I was wondering if anybody has some numbers for average martian
insolation, say on the equator. I found some data suggesting that insolation measurements at one of the viking sites was between 300W/m^2 (presumably at noon) in the summer and less than 100W/m^2 in winter. But I'm not too sure how representative that data is or even if the source was accurate. Any help would be appreciated. Thx. -- __________________________________________________ ___ Quibbler (quibbler247atyahoo.com) |
