Seasonal variations of snow depth on Mars.
Using topography collected over one martian year from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft, we have measured temporal changes in the elevation of the martian surface that correlate with the seasonal cycle of carbon dioxide exchange between the surface and atmosphere. The greatest elevation change (1.5 to 2 meters) occurs at high latitudes ( above 80 degr...
متن کاملModeling Mars’ ionosphere with constraints from same‐day observations by Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Express
[1] We have analyzed a brief period of same‐day observations of the Martian ionosphere using data obtained in December 2004 from the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and Mars Express (MEX) radio occultation experiments. These data were taken shortly after sunrise under solstice conditions in both hemispheres, with MGS in the summer (northern) hemisphere at high latitudes while MEX was in the winter (...
متن کاملBreeding vectors and predictability in the Oxford Mars GCM
A breeding vectors approach is used to study the intrinsic predictability of the Martian atmosphere using the Oxford Mars General Circulation Model (MGCM). The approach, described in detail below, is first tested using a terrestrial general circulation model, the United Kingdom Meteorological Office’s Unified Model (UM), and results show growing modes of instability at mid to high latitudes on ...
متن کاملFast Computation of CO2 Cooling Rates for a Mars GCM
We present and discuss a new parameterization of the radiative cooling rates by CO2 at 15-micron in the Martian atmosphere. The new scheme, which is under development, is specially designed to be implemented in Mars’ global circulation models. It builds and improves upon a previous parameterization, currently in use in most GCMs. We will discuss briefly the needs for the present update and the ...
متن کاملDust cycles and storms in a Mars GCM
A number of different dust lifting parameterizations have been used to model the injection of dust from the Martian surface into the atmosphere, and the form of the resulting dust cycles and dust storms produced are found to be highly dependent on the precise form of the parameterization used, provided that it includes some threshold dependence, and particularly where radiatively active dust tr...
