Windflow at crater bottom

Philip Simon — 5/1/2004 4:36:51 PM (archived)

I guessed against dunes because the two parallel features were so linear and long. I thought that dunes on a crater bottom would be more irregular, like star dunes. Here we see nice linear dune groups that almost span the crater. Is wind flow more laminar in the low pressures there on Mars?
