...Dark, slender Major Dean Hess, a 32-year-old World War II fighter pilot, landed at a South Korean airstrip one day last week to report a highly successful strafing mission. Hess had spotted four Communist boats crossing the Kum River east of Taejon. He burned and strafed the boats, wheeled and roared back at the target again. Fleeing Red soldiers were scrambling up the river bank. Hess's six machine guns laced a pattern of lead along the bank. "I looked back," he said, "and there were 30 soldiers stretched out flatter than pancakes." He grinned, then checked...
Such temperature variations, Hess reasoned, ought to stir up the Martian atmosphere as they do the earth's. For proof that they actually do, he turned to observations of the faint white clouds that sometimes drift across the red surface of Mars. The clouds indicated that Mars, like the earth, has "prevailing westerlies" as well as winds circulating around areas of high or low pressure. He thinks that the lot spots are probably "heat lows" like those that often form in summer in the U.S. southwest...
...judge by Hess's analysis, Martian weather is pretty dull. If an earthling on Mars were able to breathe its atmosphere (containing little oxygen), he would see few clouds the year round. The wind might push him about a bit, but he would not have to worry about rain or snow. His worst problem would be the more extreme contrast between winter and summer. The Martian year (almost twice as long as the earthly year) allows Mars more time to heat up in summer, cool off in winter...
