Tracer transport in the Martian atmosphere as simulated by a Mars GCM

Creator:

Walsh, Thomas D.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the atmospheric circulation and transport characteristics of the Martian atmosphere (as modeled by a Mars GCM) for three sets of conditions. The conditions are based on a combination of season and dust loading (as parameterized by the optical depth, τ). The first experiment is for the Northern...

A study of the relationship between ageostrophy and dynamical periodicities of the tropical Pacific Boundary Layer

Creator:

McCandlish, Cole B.

Abstract:

Eight years (1980-87) of twice-daily high-resolution radiosonde data from a tropical mid-Pacific island station are analyzed to generate time series of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) top pressure, an ageostrophic parameter (related to the divergence), and a parameter of mean PBL specific humidity. Sample spectra of these time series are...
