The planet Mars hosts an atmosphere that is perhaps the closest in terms of its meteorology
and climate to that of the Earth. But Mars differs from Earth in its greater distance from the …

We discuss here the energy deposition of solar FUV, EUV and X-ray photons, energetic
auroral particles, and pickup ions. Photons and the photoelectrons that they produce may …

Abstract A new Mars Global Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Model (M‐GITM) is presented that
combines the terrestrial GITM framework with Mars fundamental physical parameters, ion …

A new planetary atmospheric numerical model,“planetWRF,” has been developed by
modifying the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The model has generalized …

We present one Martian year of observations of the density and temperature in the upper
atmosphere of Mars (between 60 and 130 km) obtained by the Mars Express ultraviolet …

During the last three decades, it has become increasingly clear that atmospheric modelling
and remote sounding of the atmosphere from space, to name just two important application …

The NASA Ames Mars General Circulation Model is used to interpret selected results from
the Mars Pathfinder atmospheric structure instrument/meteorology (ASI/MET) experiment …

Mars dayside thermospheric temperature and scale height trends were examined using
measurements from the Neutral Gas Ion Mass Spectrometer (NGIMS) and the Imaging …

We present the extension to the thermosphere of a Martian general circulation model, the
first able to self‐consistently study the whole Martian atmosphere from the surface to the …

The vertical propagation of nonmigrating (ie, longitude‐dependent or non–Sun‐
synchronous) solar diurnal and semidiurnal tides into the thermosphere of Mars is …
