A new generation of the general circulation model GM3 (Global Multiscale Mars Model) for the study of the atmosphere of Mars has been developed. This model is built on the dynamical core of version 3.3.0 of the Canadian Meteorological Centre operational weather forecast - the Global Environment Multiscale (GEM) model - with detailed parameterizations of surface and sub-surface physical processes, boundary layer turbulence, atmospheric radiative transfer, orographic gravity wave drag, and atmospheric condensation of CO2 gas. In addition, water vapour and water ice processes in the atmosphere and their interaction with various forms of water in the surface and sub-surface are treated in the model. The model results have been validated against some of the available observational data. Preliminary comparison of the zonal mean temperature calculated from the model simulation with data from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) instrument on-board the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) shows a very good agreement. Additionally, the contribution of gravity waves to the zonally averaged momentum budget of the atmosphere have been investigated. Also, the model performs well in producing observed spatial and temporal annual variations of atmospheric water vapour and water ice. The model is useful for investigating both the global climate, and by taking advantage of its flexibility, the mesoscale meteorology of Mars. Also it will aid in interpreting and analyzing observed data returned from various Mars missions.
