ON THE MYSTERY OF THE PERENNIAL CARBON DIOXIDE CAP AT THE

Introduction: A perennial CO2 ice cap has long been observed near the south pole of Mars. The retention of a CO2 ice cap results from the surface energy balance of the latent heat, solar radiation, surface emission, and subsurface conduction. While models conventionally
