FIG. 6.

Diurnal light curves of Mars at different wavelengths at phase 37°. The snapshots at the bottom are based on the MGS/TES bolometric albedo map (Fig. 3). Note that the subsolar and sub-observer latitudes in the observed data are ∼5° and ∼15°, respectively, while the model as well as snapshots assumes the observations from the equatorial plane for simplicity.
