Abstract It is widely accepted that water ice cloud particles below the triple point of water form by heterogeneous nucleation (with the aid of a pre-existing particle).
1 Introduction Modeling the Martian climate and weather can be approached using a hierarchy of models with various spatial resolutions, ranging from very high resolution Large Eddy Simulations (LES) at scales of just a few meters (Michaels & Rafkin, 2004; Spiga et al., 2010; Wu et al., 2021) to Global Climate Models (GCMs) that cover the entire planet at resolution of several hundred kilometers (Forget et al., 1999; Haberle et al., 2019; Neary & Daerden, 2018).
7 Conclusions and Perspectives We have used a mesoscale simulation to gain understanding into the physics behind the AMEC. We see that, due to the rise of the hygropause during the dusty season, the water pumping mechanism described by Michaels et al. (2006) for orographic clouds during the ACB is not the main driver of orographic clouds in this season. Instead, orographically generated gravity waves that reach and perturb the hygropause is the primary mechanism behind orographic clouds.
