About this work
Today's VIS image shows windstreaks located in Syrtis Major Planum. These streaks are formed by the wind interaction with positive topographic features (like craters), with the 'tail' located down wind of the crater. The streaks in this image indicate the prevailing wind was from the upper right to the lower left side of the image (northeast to southwest).
