Some Aspects of the Circulation of Mars.
ResearchPublished 1965
A review of the estimates of the vertical temperature structure and heat balance of Mars. The estimates are compared with the corresponding quantities on the Earth. The probable resulting circulation is discussed, and reasons for expecting a stronger solstice circulation on Mars than on the Earth are given. The problem of thermally driven tides is reviewed. The amplitude of such tides is likely to be small. 26 pp. Bibliog.
