Mars regional atmospheric modeling system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mars Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (MRAMS) - computer program that simulates the circulations of the Martian atmosphere at regional and local scales.

Key features of MRAMS include a non-hydrostatic, fully compressible dynamics, explicit bin dust, water, and carbon dioxide ice atmospheric physics model, and a fully prognostic regolith model that includes carbon dioxide deposition and sublimation. Several Mars exploration projects, including the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Phoenix Scout Mission, and the Mars Science Laboratory have used MRAMS to study a variety of atmospheric circulations.
