TITLE OF IMAGE: Temperature predictions for Gusev landing site

CAPTION:

This graph shows the predicted daily change in the atmospheric temperature 1 
meter above the surface of Mars at Gusev landing site for sol 1 (blue 
symbols) and sol 100 (yellow symbols) of Spirit's mission.  The lighter
blue symbols are the temperatures for a visible optical depth (total dust 
abundance in the atmosphere) of 0.7 and the darker blue symbols are for a dust 
abundance of 1.0.
