Linear baroclinic instability in the Martian atmosphere

A spherical quasi-geostrophic model is used in an examination of linear baroclinic instability in such zonal-mean flows as those of the Martian atmosphere in winter, under both relatively nondusty and very dusty conditions. These zonal flows, which possess both vertical and meridional shear, are cha...

description A spherical quasi-geostrophic model is used in an examination of linear baroclinic instability in such zonal-mean flows as those of the Martian atmosphere in winter, under both relatively nondusty and very dusty conditions. These zonal flows, which possess both vertical and meridional shear, are characterized by baroclinically unstable modes whose growth rates and phase speeds are generally consistent with available observations. The structures of the spherical modes are similar to those obtained for terrestrial zonal flows, if similar zonal wavelengths are compared. Zonally symmetric topography, like that of Mars' northern hemisphere, reduces linear growth rates without changing the most unstable scale. It also increases phase speeds.
