Reinterpretation of Mariner 9 IRIS data on the basics of a simulation of radiative-conductive transfer in the dust-laden Martian atmosphere
A reinterpretation of the convective heat transport concept is presented for the IRIS measurements as an essential energy transfer mechanism. Thermal convection in a radiatively heated ground atmosphere system is discussed along with CO2 sublimation and diffusion from the Martian polar ice cap. A sy...

Summary: | A reinterpretation of the convective heat transport concept is presented for the IRIS measurements as an essential energy transfer mechanism. Thermal convection in a radiatively heated ground atmosphere system is discussed along with CO2 sublimation and diffusion from the Martian polar ice cap. A systematic reappraisal of the existing model is also included. |
