Abstract
⺠We model the temporal change of surface albedo due to the effect of ice sublimation. ⺠Icy sublimation produces greatly difference from the initial albedo state. ⺠Current albedo distribution can be reconstructed from the sinusoidal distribution. ⺠It suggests the external origin of the albedo dichotomy. ⺠The depth of the layer where the dark materials exist should be an order of 10 cm.
