Abstract

Dust suspended in the martian atmosphere strongly affects the radiative transfer. Diabatic heating and cooling it creates are prominent factors that drive the atmosphere at various scales. This paper provides a review of dust influence on the large-scale dynamics in the atmosphere of Mars above approximately 10. km. We outline the established properties of dust that influence the diabatic heating/cooling rates, and summarize the current knowledge of dust-related effects on the zonal-mean circulation and zonally asymmetric disturbances: planetary waves and tides.
