Color map of the variation in subsurface pressure (Pa) as a function of dust layer thickness (m) and input solar flux (W/m2). The color scale indicates the vapor pressure at the boundary beneath the porous layer. The white curve marks the critical pressure of 0.64 Pa, which corresponds to the tensile strength of the dust layer properties. Regions above this threshold suggest conditions under which dust ejection may be triggered.
