The results of simple calculations of the tidally-induced mean flow accelerations in the Martian atmosphere are reported. The tidal fields were calculated using the classical theory, and both the mean thermal structure and the thermal excitations were taken from Leovy and Zurek (1979). The fields were determined for dusty and clear atmospheres using Leovy and Zurek's heating profiles III and I, respectively. The mean flow acceleration was calculated by scaling to make it approximately equal to the Eliassen-Palm flux. The calculated accelerations are generally small in the dust-free Martian atmosphere, although they may be important in a small region near the surface. During global dust storms the tidally-induced mean flow accelerations are much larger and the tides probably play an important role in the general circulation.
