The LMD-AOPP Mars General Circulation Model developed jointly by LMD (Paris), AOPP (Oxford) and IAA (Granada) has been extended into the thermosphere. The model reaches a height of approximately 400 km and includes the effects of thermal conduction, molecular viscosity and EUV absorption which are relevant processes at high altitudes. The model also includes non-LTE effects in the upper atmosphere. This is the first model to be able to simulate the planet's atmosphere from the ground up to thermospheric heights. This full coupling of the various atmospheric regions yields an excellent tool to study the effects of lower atmospheric processes on the upper atmosphere. Results of the improved Mars LMD TGCM will be shown.
