  18. Conclusions MCS GW Detection Corwin Wright, corwin.wright@univ-brest.fr

  19. Conclusions • MCS is an excellent platform for studying atmospheric internal gravity waves • MCS results are limited by resolution in many places • Clear climatological features can be observed, and key sources identified • The seasonal cycle is clearly evident. • Large potential still exists for exploring the data submitted to Icarus: A one-year seasonal analysis of Martian gravity waves using MCS Data MCS GW Detection Corwin Wright, corwin.wright@univ-brest.fr
