Mars atmosphere studies with a Mars general circulation model.

Speaker: Dr. Alexander Medvedev (Max Planck Institute, Germany)
Date & Time: November 27 (Wed) 14:00-
Place: 3F Lecture Room in the Research Common Building (STEL)

Abstract:
Mars is the second best-known planet after Earth. Recent progress with observations and modeling revealed similarities and differences between the atmospheric dynamics on two planets. This talk will present a modeler's view on the atmospheric circulation on our red neighbor. An outline of the fundamental principles at work (like wave-mean flow interactions and vertical coupling) will be given, and the general circulation modeling approach introduced. The talk will overview recent advances and uncertainties with understanding the dynamics of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere, the role of small- and medium-scale gravity waves, and how the recently launched MAVEN spacecraft can change our knowledge.
