Martian Dynamical Phenomena During June-November 1976: Viking Orbiter Imaging ResultsA summary is presented of the orbital imaging observations of dynamical phenomena on Mars during the Viking primary mission. Clouds in the Tharsis/Amazonis regions are examined and the observation of an area of unusually high brightness to the southwest of Arsia Mons is considered.
