There is substantial evidence that the martian volatile inventory and climate have changed markedly throughout the planet's history. Clues come from areas as disparate as the history and properties of the deep interior, the composition of the crust and regolith, the morphology of the surface, composition of the present-day atmosphere, and the nature of the interactions between the upper atmosphere and the solar wind. We piece together the relevant observations into a coherent view of the evolution of the martian climate, focusing in particular on the observations that provide the strongest constraints.
有大量证据表明，火星的挥发性物质存量和气候在其整个历史中发生了显著变化。线索来自诸多不同领域，如火星深部内部的历史和性质、地壳与风化层的组成、火星表面的形态、当前大气的成分以及高层大气与太阳风之间相互作用的性质。我们将相关观测结果整合起来，形成对火星气候演化的连贯认识，尤其关注那些提供了最有力约束条件的观测结果。
