| Description: |
International audience ; Water ice clouds play an important role in the Martian water cycle and climate as they are a major actor in the inter-hemispheric water exchange, and impact the atmospheric structure and temperature by absorbing and scattering the incoming solar radiation [1,2 and references contained within]. Thus, monitoring the spatial and temporal evolution of the Martian water ice clouds, along with their physical properties (crystal effective radius, opacity, and altitude) is of importance to improve our understanding and modeling of the current Martian climate.Plus, we showed in [3] that the vertical structure of the clouds has a non-negligible impact on cloud optical depth retrievals performed from nadir measurements; and in [4] that the current climate models such as the Planetary Climate Model (PCM) [5] still tends to slightly underestimate the altitude of the water ice clouds. Thus, there is a need for a climatology of the vertical structure of the clouds to improve both the atmospheric models, and the nadir clouds surveys that are the main way to perform spatial and temporal surveys of water ice clouds on Mars [e.g., 6,7,8]. |
