Chemistry Related to Possible Outgassing Sources on MarsAn earlier paper, Chemical markers of possible hot spots on Mars by A. S. Wong, S. K. Atreya and Th. Encrenaz, explored the modification of the atmosphere of Mars following an influx of methane, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide (CH4, SO2, H2S) from any outgassing sources which are referred to as hot spots. The feasibility of detection of the new species by Planetary Fourier Spectrometer on Mars Express is reported in a subsequent paper, Atmospheric photochemistry above possible martian hot spots by A. S. Wong, S. K. Atreya, V. Formisano, Th. Encrenaz and N. Ignatiev. This abstract is a follow-up on the previous two papers. Here we treat the effect of any outgassed halogens rigorously. We also make estimates of dilution factors relative to the source location following convection and meridional transport.
