MOLA data
North: The comparison between HEND and MOLA has been done for the same Ls in different latitude belts. There is good agreement between HEND vs. MOLA observations and model curves calculated for regolith model with 75% wt H2O in bottom layer. 80N-85N: 10 g/cm2 depth of ice layer. 75N-80N: 40 g/cm2 depth of ice layer.

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
Mars seasonal changes are distinctly seen in HEND data. There is good correlation between HEND (Mars Odyssey) data and MOLA (MGS) measurements of CO2 frost at different north latitudes.
Comparison HEND and MOLA data shows that visible effects may be easily explained based on two-layers model of regolith.
The model estimation of CO2 frost thickness shows that North and South differs each other. CO2 frost on South is thinner at near pole latitudes and demonstrate more irregular behavior then on North.
