Mars Global Climate Modeling: From the Surface to the Exobase II Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 53132

Session Description:
Global climate models (GCMs) are used in conjunction with a variety of observational data sets to address critical questions regarding the climate of Mars and how it has evolved over time. There are now many groups worldwide that develop and use Mars GCMs, employing a variety of representations of relevant physical processes. The goal of this session is to bring together scientists from different climate modeling groups to discuss the current state of models, future development plans, and recent scientific insights from climate modeling efforts. Contributions are solicited that focus on modeling strategies as they pertain to the development of advanced physics routines, modern geophysical fluid global frameworks, and the application of such numerical tools toward questions relating to the past, current and future climates of Mars. This includes, but is not limited to, the physical representation of sub-grid scale mixing, cloud microphysics, dust lifting, radiative transfer, and photochemistry.
