Preparation and analysis of the observations of the atmosphere and ices of Pluto by the NASA new horizons spacecraft using numerical climate models

On July 14, 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto and revealed an active frozen world.These observations call upon modelling efforts to complete their analysis and understand the mechanisms at play on Pluto. For this purpose, we have developed two numerical models of Pluto’s climate: a 2D...
