Global troposphere-to-mesosphere modelling of martian CO2 ice clouds
Résumé
Previous CO2 ice cloud modeling studies [Colaprete et al., 2003, Tobie et al., 2003, Forget et al., 1998, Kuroda et al., 2013, Colaprete et al., 2008] allowed to develop and test ideas on CO2 ice cloud formation; however, the studies were often made in idealized settings and included simplified physics and/or limited model boundaries such as a low model top. Listowski et al. [2014] developed refined CO2 cloud microphysics adapted for the Martian conditions of a near-pure vapor condensing in highly supersaturated conditions [Listowski et al., 2013]. They showed with a one-dimensional model and a temperature structure including tidal and gravity wave effects that an additional source of condensation nuclei (CN) was required in the mesosphere for the formation of observed-like clouds.
