We are grateful to the entire MSL Curiosity rover team and to the REMS instrument team, in particular, for their work on the wind data on Mars, without which this research could not have been performed. MPZ has been partially funded by the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI) Project No. MDM-2017-0737 Unidad de Excelencia “María de Maeztu”- Centro de Astrobiología (CSIC-INTA). The resources used for the simulations presented in this work were provided by the Graduate School of Space Technology of Luleå University of Technology. We give special thanks to Ricardo M. Fonseca for his useful comments and suggestions on this work that extended the horizons of this research from the beginning. Peer reviewed
