The Radiative Effects of Martian Water Ice Clouds on the Local Atmospheric Temperature Profile
Anthony Colaprete,Owen B. Toon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a time-dependent microphysical aerosol model coupled with a radiative-convective model is used to explore the effects water ice clouds have on the local martian temperature profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
