Modeling of forced planetary waves in the Mars atmosphere

Creator:

Hollingsworth, Jeffery L.

Abstract:

Mariner 9 and Viking spacecraft observations during the 1970's have provided evidence for planetary-scale wave-like disturbances in the Mars atmosphere. It has been suggested that possible sources of the wave activity are dynamical instabilities (e.g., barotropic and/or baroclinic instabilities). An other candidate source is forced, quasi-stationary planetary waves. In connection...

Dissertation
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...

Masters Thesis
Diurnal and subdiurnal variability in the Mars Pathfinder Presidential meteorology sessions

Creator:

Bennett, Scott

Abstract:

The Mars Pathfinder (MPF) arrived on the Martian surface on 4 July 1997 to become only the third successful landed mission to Mars, recording surface meteorological data intermittently over a period of 83 Martian days ("sols"). The in situ observations made by the MPF meteorology (MET) experiment were recorded at...

Baroclinic eddies in the Martian atmosphere : a general circulation model study

Creator:

Matheson, Mark

Abstract:

A variety of general circulation model experiments are performed to investigate the influence of seasonality and topography on the strength of baroclinic eddies in the Martian atmosphere. Three different models are used: a full physics model, a simplified physics model, and a zonally symmetric simplified physics model. All three models...

Masters Thesis
A mesoscale model study of atmospheric circulations for the northern hemisphere summer on Mars

Creator:

Tyler, Daniel Jr

Abstract:

The Penn-State/NCAR MM5 mesoscale model was adapted for mesoscale simulations of the Martian atmosphere (the OSU MMM5). The NASA Ames Mars GCM provides initial and boundary conditions. High-resolution maps for albedo, thermal inertia and topography were developed from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) data; these baseline maps are processed to appropriate...
