Abstract
⺠H2O2 is a key trace species of Mars, probably responsible for oxidizing its surface. ⺠We have mapped H2O2 over the seasons using the TEXES imaging spectrometer at IRTF. ⺠The observations favor GCM simulations including heterogeneous chemistry. ⺠Transient H2O2 souces might locally be formed in dust devils/storms. ⺠Present results are reviewed and the detectability of local sources is discussed.
