«Now that we know such large changes occur, we think of hydrogen escape from Mars less as a slow and steady leak and more as an episodic flow — rising and falling with season and perhaps punctuated by strong bursts,» said Michael Chaffin, a scientist at the University of Colorado at Boulder who is
on the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph (IUVS) team.
