A Martian Thermals Model for the Convective Boundary Layer
Abstract
This work focuses on the general principles and choices behind Earth boundary layer parameterization of thermals in order to assess their applicability to Mars. A new thermal plume model is then proposed and implemented based on a modified version of the Earth LMDZ GCM thermals [3], yielding significant improvements.
