Exploring the interannual variablitity of the Martian atmosphere with the Mars Climate Database v5.3
Résumé
The latest Mars Climate Database (version 5.3) includes syntheticscenarios (namely the "clim" climatology scenario, representativeof a standard Mars year without any global dust storm)as well as specific scenarios corresponding to eight actual Mars years,from Mars Year 24 to Mars Year 32.At the COSPAR 2018 scientific assembly, we will address the validationof MCDv5.3 scenarios with available observations from spacecraftsand landers, and discuss more specifically of the obtained multi-annualclimatologies and how these deviate over the years.
