Seasonal flows on warm Martian slopes
Seasonal flows on warm Martian slopes (also called recurring slope lineae , recurrent slope lineae and RSL ) [1] [2] are thought to be salty water flows occurring during the warmest months on Mars , or alternatively, dry grains that "flow" downslope of at least 27 degrees.

Observations from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have revealed what is possibly flowing water during the warmest months on Mars . [1] [2] [3] [4] Research suggests that in the past there was liquid water flowing on the surface, [5] [6] creating large areas similar to Earth's oceans. [7] [8] [9] [10] However, the question remains as to where the water has gone. [11] In a statement released by NASA on August 4, 2011, repeat images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment show Recurring slope lineae (RSL), which are narrow (0.5 to 5 meters) and exhibit relatively dark markings on steep (25° to 40°) slopes, to appear and incrementally grow during warm seasons and fade in cold seasons. [1] They extend down slope from bedrock outcrops, often associated with small channels. RSL appear and lengthen in the late southern spring and summer from 48°S to 32°S latitudes that favor equator-facing slopes, which are times and places with peak surface temperatures from −23 °C to 27 °C. Liquid brine near the surface might explain this activity, [2] but the exact source of the water and the mechanism behind its motion are not understood. [12] [13] |
