| Abstract | The general circulation of Mars is characterized by strong eastward winds in the fall-winter hemisphere. The interaction of this flow with zonally varying topography excites quasistationary waves, which take the form of planetary waves for forcing at the largest horizontal scales. [1]. The stationary waves can influence the stability of the atmosphere, enhancing the formation of disturbances at certain longitudes and impeding their formation at others [2]. An indirect yet efficient way to detect and characterize such a complex dynamical process is to study the effects on the atmospheric temperatures [3]. This effect can also be observable in the distribution of minor gasses. |
