Improved model of Mars water cycle & clouds & its validation with available data

This delivery will describe a comprehensive study of the available data on water vapour and frost, combining data from MGS and MEx, including the climatology of seasonal surface frost and the information on the vertical distribution obtained in previous WPs, focusing on the discrepancies found in previous comparative studies, and validating and tuning the water cycle included in the LMD-MGCM, adding If necessary, new or improved parameterisation of different physical processes.
