Second workshop on

Mars atmosphere modelling and observations

February 27 - March 3, 2006

Granada, Spain

Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones

SCOPE : The scope of the workshop is to bring together experts in modelling and observations of the Mars climate system and discuss the nature of the atmospheric circulation and photochemistry (up to the neutral thermosphere), the dust cycle, the water cycle (vapor, clouds and frost) and the carbon dioxide cycle (polar caps), as we did for the first workshop in early 2003. This year, the workshop also include a short session on the modelling of the climate changes on Mars due to orbital and obliquity changes.
