Zonally Symmetric Response to Atmospheric Tidal Forcing in the Dusty Martian Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have computed a steady state, zonally symmetric response of an atmospheric circulation to the combined efffects of the very large zonal-mean diabatic heating and thermotidal forcing thought to exist in the dusty Martian ...
The Martian Zonal-Mean Circulation: Angular Momentum and Potential Vorticity Structure in GCM Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of simulations performed with the NASA/Ames Mars GCM shows that under dusty conditions the Northern Hemisphere winter solstice circulation becomes characterized by a zonally averaged state in which the potential ...
A Boundary-Layer Model for Mars: Comparison with Viking Lander and Entry Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A one-dimensional boundary-layer model for Mars is described, and its results are compared with Viking data. The model equations are similar to Earth boundary-layer models in that they include contributions from Coriolis, ...
