Mars' Rotation and Orbit Dynamics
Mars rotation around  its pole causes a signature in the data with a daily minimum, when the Lander is closest to the Earth. Changes in such a daily signature may reveal information about the interior of Mars, through its effect on Mars' precession and nutation. 
The signature is also sensitive to variations in Mars' Rotation Rate, as the mass of the atmosphere increases and decreases along with the Polar Caps increase and decrease (obviously the Polar Caps increase during the Martian Fall and Winter and then, due to the higher heating of the Planet - and subsequent evaporation phoenomena - they decrease in Spring and Summer). 
Long term signatures in the range to the Lander are caused by asteroids perturbing Mars' orbit; an analysis of these perturbations may allow us to also determinate the masses of these asteroids.
