Title:<br />
Mars climate database and physical models<br />
In order to compute accurately the incoming solar flux on inclined solar panels, a Monte-Carlo radiative transfer code for the<br />
martian atmosphere has been developed by LMD. Additional work is now needed to complete the Mars Climate Database and<br />
Physical Model development. In particular, the following main tasks are foreseen: validation of the Monte-Carlo radiative<br />
transfer tool for Mars, with a reference radiative transfer tool; implementation of a graphical interface for the Monte-Carlo<br />
code; extension of the capability of the Monte-Carlo code with a feature to compute the incident solar flux for a generically<br />
oriented flat panel on the Mars surface.<br />
Deliverables:<br />
Technical note (incl. the illumination spectrum in four particular conditions); validation report; updated Monte-Carlo Mars Sun<br />
Radiation environment tool, incl. Source Files / User's Manual / test files.<br />

Title:<br />
Mars climate database and physical models<br />
Update the European resources for Mars mission development related to environmental and <strong>du</strong>st characterisation. Re<strong>du</strong>ce<br />
the uncertainties in the parameterization of physical processes.<br />
In order to prepare the future of Mars Exploration in Europe, and in particular improve our knowledge of the Martian<br />
environment at a level suitable for the Aurora program, the unique European Martian Circulation Model and Climate Database<br />
(developed by <strong>ESA</strong> with later support from CNES) must be improved by:<br />
- Inclusion of data from Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Express, and Mars Odyssey<br />
in the European Mars Climate Database (EMCD)<br />
- Dedicated study of the Mars atmosphere <strong>du</strong>st storms<br />
- High latitude processes on Mars (CO2 and H2O ice microphysics)<br />
- Inclusion of heating rate by phototelectrons in simulation of the<br />
thermosphere (120 - 300 km)<br />
- High resolution simulations of the lower atmosphere<br />
- Upgrades of the EMCD access software.<br />
Deliverables:<br />
Improved general circulation model of the Martian atmosphere, allowing mesoscale simulations; Assessment of Martian<br />
environment <strong>du</strong>ring <strong>du</strong>st storms; Improved Martian climate database based on assimilated data of current Mars missions.<br />
