Atmospheric conditions are as follws:
Composition: 67% Nitrogen, 29% Oxygen, 2% Ozone, 1% CO2, 1% trace gases.
Equator: 400mB; 287K Aphelion, 295K Perihelion
North Pole: 420mB; 260K Winter, 268K Summer
South Pole: 280mB; 230K Winter, 262K Summer

Liquid water stable at datum.

Ozone formation confirmed in upper atmosphere.

Excellent. How was this achieved?

Perhaps it is time to re-do the Mars map on the Watery Mars map. Mind posting the link to the nice one you had?

Excellent. How was this achieved?

Current conditions have come about due to natural progression from the time of the previous report. Nitrogen has been introduced from Titan, Triton, and ammonious asteroids. Additional CO2 and flourine has been introduced from Venus. Ozone has come about as a result of the ionization of oxygen, and oxygen has come about as a result of the electrolysis of water, as well as being released from carbon dioxide via plant colonies.

Temperatures were raised via sollettes and the subsequent greenhouse effect, and pressures have been raised via increased temperature and the introduction of more gasses.

OOC: Some pretty good ones can be found here (http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/~pmcgee/teform.htm) and here (http://www.space-graphics.com/bluemars.htm), but I'll look around for some more.

Keeping it current:

Atmospheric conditions are as follws:
Composition: 65% Nitrogen, 28% Oxygen, 2.5% Ozone, 2.5% CO2, 1% Assorted Chloroflourocarbons, 1% trace gases.
Equator: 450mB; 285K Aphelion, 292K Perihelion
North Pole: 455mB; 258K Winter, 265K Summer
South Pole: 310mB; 230K Winter, 264K Summer

Counterintuitive temperature variations are due to the presence of ice on the Oceanus Borealis and Mare Acidalia.

Liquid water stable in all inhabitable areas (excludes: Pavonis, Ascreus, Tharsis, Olympus, South Polar Cap).

Tenuous ozone layer present, but not evenly distributed.

Hmm... have you considered the effects of the five asteroid impacts in the southern hemisphere? All were about the same size, about the size of a two story house. Two struck outside the capital of our Martian colony, destroying it and the terraforming in the area has quickly reverted, duwe to the aftereffects.

That will cause temperatures to drop in the southern hemisphere, and put some nice new lakes on the map, but a global effect won't come about for quite some time, if there is any at all.

Keeping it current:

Atmospheric conditions are as follws:
Composition: 65.5% Nitrogen, 28% Oxygen, 2.3% Ozone, 2.2% CO2, .3% methane, 1.7% trace gases including ammonia, assorted chloroflourocarbons, and other greenhouse gasses.

Equator (at datum): 450mB; 285K Aphelion, 292K Perihelion
North Pole: 455mB; 258K Winter, 265K Summer

Liquid water stable in all inhabitable areas (excludes: Pavonis, Ascreus, Tharsis, Olympus, South and North Polar Caps).

Ozone layer present, but not evenly distributed. Significant amounts of low-level ozone.

Weather patterns:
low-level winds generally flow from south to north, high level winds oppositely, with the intersection point averaging at about 37 degrees north latitude. Suspended dust particles are expected from recent storms have led a slight increase in atmospheric heat absorbtion the world over, which will cause a corresponding increase in surface temperature, but only temporarily. This is expected to cause sproadic spawning of minor dust storms in the south for some time, but the effect on the north will be much more severe. Dust deposited in the seas and ocean and over icecaps will increase hydrospheric heat absorbtion as well as atmospheric heating, leading to possible floods in the north and south from meltwater, choppy seas, weakened icesheets near polynyas, and maritime storms. There is a slight possibility of waterspouts in Mare Acidalia and Mare Isidis. The large amounts of iron moved into the water via duststorms will likely eventually help in establishing a marine ecosystem, but that will have to wait until the weather disturbances stop- not enough light reaches the surface currently, and the normally dark-blue sky is tinted pink.

What are the noticable effects of the now-ended Martian warfare? We are considering making another contribution to Eniqcir terraforming efforts and would like some current data to help determine the size of the contribution.

Have you all forgotten about the Green Mars project we started a while back? That would be a major contributor to the steady terraforming of Mars, one would think.

Everything following "Suspended dust particles."
Oh, and some pretty spectacular Auroras.

OOC: No, but I've had no news of what you've been doing for a while, so I can't factor it in.

OOC:
Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to take the time to plug this (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2482773) thread in the appropriate environment.

I know it's a breach of ettiquete, but I would appreciate some interest.

(*bump for veiwage; to be updated soon, I hope*)

Weather patterns:
low-level winds generally flow from south to north, high level winds oppositely, with the intersection point averaging at about 37 degrees north latitude. The summary of recent wars has caused significant heating around western Daedalia, spawned minor southern windstorms due to increased local heat absorption from suspended dust, and resulted in a global temperature decrease of 2 degrees. Icesheets have extended several degrees further towards the equator, and numerous polynyas have dissapeared.
