Reproducing Meteorological Observations at the Mars Phoenix Lander Site Using the Nasa Ames
The mission began in late Spring (L s ~77˚) and ended in midSummer (L s ~148˚), lasting for 151 sols [2]. In situ measurements by the lander characterized the local atmospheric conditions (i.e. temperature, pressure, wind speeds and direction, opacity of dust and water ice, and the detection of surface water ice frost) [3,4]. Phoenix measured a steady decline in near surface atmospheric pressur...
متن کاملAssimilation of Mars Global Surveyor atmospheric temperature data into a general circulation model
We examined the observed temperature data from Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) between heliocentric longitude L• = 141 ø and 146 ø (•10 Martian days in northern summer) during the mapping phase, then compared them with the simulated results using the NASA/Ames Mars general circulation model. Both show a strong polar vortex at the winter pole, higher equatorial temperatures near the ground a...

متن کاملReconstructing the weather on Mars at the time of the MERs and Beagle 2 landings
We reconstruct the temperature, wind and density structure of the atmosphere on Mars from the surface to 120 km altitude at the time of the landing of the two NASA Mars Exploration Rovers (MER), and ESA’s “Beagle 2”. This reconstruction is based on an assimilation of temperature and dust opacity observations from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft into ...
متن کاملA mesoscale model for the Martian atmosphere
[1] The Pennsylvania State University/National Center for Atmosphere Research Mesoscale Model Version 5 (MM5) has been converted for use on Mars. Modifications are based on schemes implemented in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Mars General Circulation Model (GCM). Validation of the Mars MM5 is conducted by comparison to the Mars GCM, examining the large-scale dynamics in the two mode...
