Structure and dynamics of the convective boundary layer on Mars as inferred from large-eddy simulations and remote-sensing measurements

Forget, F.; Hinson, D. P.; Spiga, A. +1 more

The structure of the Martian convective boundary layer (BL) is decribed by means of a novel approach involving both modelling and data analysis. Mars Express radio-occultation (RO) temperature profiles are compared to large-eddy simulations (LESs) performed with the Martian mesoscale model. The model combines the Martian radiative transfer, soil a…
