Fig. 13 — Predicted net dune migration direction over a Mars year (black arrows) as well as predicted orientation of bedform crests (red lines) assuming the (a) GBNT or (b) Fingering Mode (bottom) theory of dune formation, for the region surrounding the landing site in NW Jezero crater using mesoscale MarsWRF output. The shaded background shows topography. Note that the net dune migration is independent of the chosen dune formation theory hence the black arrows are identical between plots. Also shown is topography (colored shading) and the location of the Mars 2020 landing site and Midway (white and pink circles, respectively). Note that arrows show only net sand transport direction and are not scaled to show predicted sand flux
