Scientific paper

Waves are prominent features in the atmosphere of Mars. This is a combined result of the low density, pronounced relief structures and high radiative forcing from the direct deposition of radiation into the dust loaded atmosphere. There is observational evidence for different types of waves including planetary waves, thermal tides and gravity waves. Nonlinear interaction between waves of different types in the atmosphere of Earth has been long established as the only way for explaining certain wave frequencies. Towards a better understanding of the wave activity in the atmosphere of Mars we will address in this presentation the possibility of mutual tides and planetary waves interactions on Mars and that of generating new waves, affecting the wave spectrum, amplitudes and mean flow properties.
