Answer:
.Terrestrial planets in the solar system are constantly losing their atmospheres to outer space. The rate at which this loss happens is determined mainly by the size of a planet and temperature of its upper atmosphere. Mars, being a relatively smaller planet compared to Earth, is losing its atmosphere at a faster rate. This loss rate, however, is altered by the changes in the upper atmospheric temperature. Therefore, characterizing the Martian upper atmosphere is extremely important to understand this loss rate and is one of the primary goals of the recent missions to Mars such as NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) and ISRO’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM). A global dust storm, more precisely called a “planet-encircling dust event”, is one of the dynamical meteorological phenomena on Mars that can raise its upper atmospheric temperatures by several degrees. As a result, effects of these global dust storms on the Martian upper atmosphere are expected to be multi-fold, some of which are yet to be uncovered. Towards revealing some of these effects, recent measurements by the Indian MOM spacecraft have been playing an important role.
