The Water Cycle in the Northern Polar Region of Mars: Improved Modeling Using the LMD Global Climate Model

Modeling of the water cycle is improved by implementing the radiative effect of water-ice clouds, the scavenging of dust particles and a refined description of the polar caps in the LMD Global Climate Model. The resulting water cycle is discussed
