Frontal dust storms are observed roughly continuously during the presolstice (early/middle fall) and postsolstice (middle/late winter) time periods, but flushing dust storms that cross the equator are confined to shorter seasonal windows on both sides of the solsticial pause. In the lower atmosphere, the timing of cross‐equatorial flushing dust storms correlates better with eddy temperature than with eddy meridional wind; in the middle atmosphere, it correlates better with eddy meridional wind than with eddy temperature.

Frontal dust storms do not seem to be limited to any particular wave mode, but cross‐equatorial flushing dust storms appear to be closely related to <jats:italic>m</jats:italic> = 3 eastward traveling waves, at least in Mars year 24. The effectiveness of <jats:italic>m</jats:italic> = 3 waves in this regard is partially due to their amplitudes but more importantly due to their seasonal distributions and latitudinal positions. During the time periods when <jats:italic>m</jats:italic> = 3 waves are strong, the <jats:italic>m</jats:italic> = 3 waves are also located at lower latitudes, closer in distance to the fairly strong southward mean meridional wind in the low latitudes. Dust in frontal dust storms at high latitudes can be easily entrained into the low‐latitude circulation and be efficiently transported southward.</jats:p> Cross‐Equatorial Flushing Dust Storms and Northern Hemisphere Transient Eddies: An Analysis for Mars Year 24 Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets
