Dust in the Martian atmosphere has a profound influence on the dynamics of the general circulation as a consequence of radiative effects. In particular, winds associated with the Hadley circulation and the thermal tides may respond sensitively to the evolving spatial distribution of aerosol-induced heating. In turn, the circulation has a major role in determining the sources, sinks and transport of the dust. In an effort to explore this interaction, the GFDL Martian general circulation model has been used to simulate the mobilization and transport of radiatively active aerosol. This talk will present views of the evolving atmospheric response, with an emphasis on thermal tides, planetary-scale slope winds and the Hadley circulation. The contribution of these circulation elements to dust raising and transport will be discussed.
