Modeling Approaches for the Current Climate of Mars

Session ID#: 162336

Session Description:
Atmospheric and climate models are used in conjunction with a variety of observational data sets to address critical questions regarding the current atmosphere and climate of Mars. There are now many groups worldwide that 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 from modeling efforts. 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 such numerical tools toward questions relating to the current atmosphere and climate of Mars, from the surface to the exobase. This includes, but is not limited to, the physical representation of dust lifting, cloud microphysics, and photochemistry.
