, 3 years ago→Solid state greenhouse effect model
Line 319:
Möhlmann uses a solid state greenhouse effect in his model, similarly to the process that forms the geysers, but with translucent ice rather than dry ice as the solid state greenhouse layer.<ref name="LiquidWaterSnowIce">{{cite journal|url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0019103509004539|last1=Möhlmann|first1=Diedrich T.F.|title=Temporary liquid water in upper snow/ice sub-surfaces on Mars?|journal=Icarus|volume=207|issue=1|year=2010|pages=140–148|issn=0019-1035|doi=10.1016/j.icarus.2009.11.013|bibcode=2010Icar..207..140M}}</ref>

[[File:JoekullsarlonBlueBlockOfIce.jpg|thumb|JoekullsarlonBlueBlockOfIce| 400px| Blue wall of an Iceberg on [[Jökulsárlón]], Iceland. On the Earth, [[Blue ice (glacial)|Blue ice]] like this forms as a result of air bubbles squeezed out of glacier ice. This has the right optical and thermal properties to act as a solid state greenhouse, trapping a layer of liquid water that forms 0.1 to 1 meters below the surface. In Möhlmann's model, if ice with similar optical and thermal properties forms on Mars, it could form a layer of liquid water centimeters to decimeters thick, which would form 5 - 10 cm below the surface.]]
