Session Proposal: Modeling Approaches for the Climate of Mars (AGU25)

P024
Modeling Approaches for the Climate of Mars

Session ID#: 252348

Session Description:
Atmospheric and climate models are used in conjunction with a variety of observational data sets to address critical questions regarding the climate of Mars currently and throughout the planet’s history. Many groups worldwide now develop and use global, mesoscale, and microscale models that employ a variety of representations of relevant physical processes. The goal of this session is to bring together scientists from different atmospheric and climate modeling groups to discuss the current state of models, future development plans, and recent scientific insights. Contributions are solicited that focus on modeling strategies as they pertain to the development of advanced physics routines, modern geophysical fluid frameworks, and the application of these tools toward addressing questions relating to the atmosphere and climate of current, past, and future Mars, from the surface to the exobase. This includes, but is not limited to, the representation of dust lifting, cloud microphysics, and atmospheric chemistry.
