Gravity waves in the thermosphere of Mars are complex and variable phenomena capable of causing significant changes to processes in the upper atmosphere of Mars, which can affect atmospheric escape. The objective of this study is to determine how both dust storm activity and variation in Local Solar Time (LST) affect thermospheric gravity wave activity. Analyzing in-situ neutral Argon density data from the Mars Atmospheric and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) satellite’s Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer (NGIMS), we measure the strength of the gravity wave activity across five nightside observation datasets in a variety of dust conditions: three outside of the Martian Dust season with nominal, low dust conditions, one during the 2018 Global Dust Storm (GDS), and one during the regional C storm observed in Mars Year (MY) 34. From nominal conditions, we find thermospheric gravity wave activity increases on the nightside, as seen in previous studies, but is twice as high post-midnight as it is pre-midnight. During the 2018 GDS, the thermospheric gravity wave activity observed between 22:00 and 06:00 LST is generally consistent with gravity wave activity observed during nominal dust conditions. Between 18:00 and 22:00, however, gravity wave activity during the 2018 GDS is ~7 times higher than the weak activity seen during these LSTs in nominal dust conditions. A similar effect is observed during the MY 34 regional C storm, during which gravity wave activity increased in step with the global dust loading.
