The GRS will also be able to detect the presence of volatile materials in the permafrost and the polar caps, such as water and carbon dioxide. (newscientist.com)
It then likely becomes coated with more volatile materials like ammonium hydrosulfide and ammonia as the temperature decreases with their ascent,» Sromovsky adds. (sciencedaily.com)
By comparing changes in brightness Spitzer observed to the energy flow models, researchers realized an atmosphere with volatile materials could best explain the temperatures. (sciencedaily.com)
