Correction to 'Stability of perchlorate hydrates and their liquid solutions at the Phoenix landing site, Mars'

摘要

In the paper "Stability of perchlorate hydrates and their liquid solutions at the Phoenix landing site, Mars" by Vincent F. Chevrier et al. (Geophysical Research Letters, 36, L10202, doi:10.1029/2009GL037497, 2009) there is an error in Figure 3b of the published paper. The curve describing the GCM (Global Circulation Model) results for humidity at the Phoenix landing site is wrong. The new figure gives the right humidity variations from the GCM (the legend is the same as for the original Figure 3b) . This error does not affect subsequent calculations and all the conclusions of the paper remain valid, since they were based on the measured humidity data by the Phoenix Thermal and Electrical Conductivity Prove TECP instrument rather than on the GCM model results.
