Chaotic obliquity and the nature of the Martian climate
Abstract
Recent calculations of the Martian obliquity suggest that it varies chaotically on timescales longer than about 10 7 years and varies between about 0 and 60°. We examine the seasonal water behavior at obliquities between 40 and 60°. Up to several tens of centimeters of water may sublime from the polar caps each year, and possibly move to the equator, where it is more stable. CO 2 frost and CO 2‐H 2 O clathrate hydrate are stable in the polar deposits below a few tens of meters depth, so that the polar cap could contain a significant CO 2 reservoir. If CO 2 is present, it could be left over from the early history of Mars; also, it could be released into the atmosphere during periods of high obliquity, causing occasional periods of more‐clement climate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
