Non-local deep transport (NLDT) is accomplished through coherent and vertically extensive circulations, and provides for both up- and down-gradient transport that, unlike diffusion, does not fundamentally depend on the local gradient. One of the most important aspects of NLDT is its ability to produce local maxima of various quantities in the absence of a local source, and it is this characteristic that makes it "non-local". NLDT likely plays an important role in the dynamics, energetics, and chemistry of the atmosphere of Mars, much as it does for Earth. It may also be of importance in the energy and hydrological cycle on Titan and in the energy, momentum, and chemical cycles on Venus. Below, the known impact of NLDT on Earth is discussed, followed by a discussion of how NLDT may operate in the atmospheres of Mars, Venus, and Titan.
