Mars - Are observed white clouds composed of H2O.A total of 252 occurrences of white clouds are studied. Water abundances are compared with those of white clouds as a function of latitude on Mars. It appears not necessarily to be the case that observed cloud frequencies will always follow water abundances. Martian white cloud frequencies tend to follow the distribution of water both seasonally and latitudinally on the planet, which strongly suggests that most white clouds are formed from water vapor.
