Profiling Near-surface Winds on Mars Using Attitude Data from Mars 2020 Ingenuity by Brian Jackson, Lori Fenton, Travis Brown, Asier Munguira, German Martinez, Claire Newman, Daniel Viúdez-Moreiras, Matthew Golombek, Ralph Lorenz, Mark D. Paton, Dylan Conway

“…For flights during which we have MEDA data to compare to, inferred wind speeds imply friction velocities >1 m s ^−1 and roughness lengths >10 cm, which seem implausibly large. These results suggest that Ingenuity was probing winds sensitive to aerodynamic conditions hundreds of meters upwind instead of the conditions very near Mars 2020, but they may also reflect a need for updated boundary layer wind models. …”
