Main Results:
1. Our research showed evidence that topographic wind features do alter wind patterns on Mars. We see topography influencing wind patterns in areas such as Elysium Planitia, Nereidum, Noachis Terra, and Syrtis Major.
2. Areas with varied topography and elevation make for varied wind direction.
3. Contrastingly areas like Scandia Colles, Daedalia Planitia, and Arabia Terra, which based on the topographic map of Mars, all show smoother, less varied topography and elevation, exhibit no evidence for the chaotic winds seen in other regions.
