Suppose that we could increase the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Mars to 0.2 bar, by vaporizing the polar caps and subsurface ice. This atmosphere would then likely decrease over time, as a result of several processes, such as escape into space, and erosion by the solar wind. How would the surface pressure decrease as a function of time? How much time would it take until the pressure is only 0.1 bar?
