Dust storms play an important role in governing the climate of Mars. The rare, global storms alter the planet's total heat balance and promote variations in seasonal frost formation and dissipation, and greatly affect the distribution of water vapor.

"Global" dust storms, where a runaway series of storms creates a dust cloud so large it envelops the planet, only appear every six to eight years (that's three to four Mars years). Scientists still don't understand why or how exactly these storms form and evolve.

dust storms. In particular, the 1971 storm that essentially coincided with the arrival of Mar iner 9 at Mars is the most extensive storm ever observed (and probably the only storm of truly global extent). Another very large storm was tele-scopically observed in 1973, the subsequent Mars year. Two large storms (the so-called 1977a and 1977b storms)
