Waves and Instability in the Atmosphere of Mars: Nasa Planetary Atmospheres

摘要

A broad range of phenomena were addressed by the study including the following:(1) polar warming; (2) forced stationary waves; (3) gravity waves; (4) transient baroclinic eddies; and (5) radiative-dynamical instabilities. A variety of numerical models have been employed in these studies, as well as analytical approaches. Some of the most significant results from this work are very briefly summarized.
