Abstract

The mode of subsidence of layered structures in the ionosphere of Mars has been studied taking into account the compositional features of the Martian atmosphere. The characteristic sedimentation rates of dust particles, their sizes and charges, as well as the sedimentation time of layered structures are calculated. The results obtained can be used in the study of atmospheric phenomena on Mars in the course of upcoming space missions.
