The weather in Jezero, Mars, according to the MEDA instrument onboard #Perseverance.

Report Sol: 714

Temperature extremes were -82.0 and -17.1°C during the past week; all mean sol temperatures read above -50°C. The average air pressure kept rising, while minimum air density, important for #Ingenuity to continue flying in low gear, kept around 0.015kg/m3.

The weather in Jezero, Mars, according to the MEDA instrument onboard #Perseverance.

Temperatures averaged between -85 and -19°C during the past week; average air pressure kept rising.

Air density minimum continued rising slowly and is now above 0.015kg/m3, which allows #Ingenuity to fly in low gear.

The weather in Jezero, Mars, according to the MEDA instrument onboard #Perseverance.

The cold weather of last week has given its place to higher temperatures, although the lows are still in the mid -80s; the highs are now at the -13°C range, mostly; average air pressure kept rising.

The combination of increased temperatures and air pressure drives air density low. At a certain point (0.0145kg/m3) #Ingenuity will have to fly at higher gear.

The weather in Jezero, Mars, according to the MEDA instrument onboard #Perseverance.

As it appears, the cold temperatures observed last week may have not been due to the cold draft coming down Cannery Passage, nor the openness of the Three Forks plain. This week temperatures reached even lower (as low as -86.7°C) with highs from -25.7 to -13.4°C; air pressure rose to reach 732 Pa, a few sols ago.
