MGS MOC Release No. MOC2-567, 7 December 2003

This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) wide angle image shows a small dust storm, and several other smaller dust plumes, billowing up from the light-toned plains near the boundary between Syria Planum and the Claritas Fossae. This (text missing) is monitored by MOC several times a week because it is frequently the site of small dust storms and extremely large dust devils. The image covers an area approximately 125 km (78 mi) wide and is illuminated from the left/lower left.
