The Martian Zonal-Mean Circulation: Angular Momentum and Potential Vorticity Structure in GCM Simulations

Creator:

Barnes, Jeffrey R. and Haberle, Robert M.

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 vorticity at upper levels is very small outside of high latitudes. The available observational data-in particular the 15-µm observations...
