High-frequency orographically forced variability in a single-layer model of the Martian atmosphere

A shallow water model with realistic topography and idealized zonal wind forcing is used to examine orographically forced modes in the Martian atmosphere. The model produces barotropic modes with periods within the broad range of periods observed at the sites of Viking Lander I and II during the fal...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A shallow water model with realistic topography and idealized zonal wind forcing is used to examine orographically forced modes in the Martian atmosphere. The model produces barotropic modes with periods within the broad range of periods observed at the sites of Viking Lander I and II during the fall and spring seasons.
