Scientific paper

This study is a first attempt to simulate the nonlinear interactions between planetary waves and tides in the atmosphere of Mars and to examine the consequences of the secondary waves that result from these interactions. Recent analysis of aerobraking densities show clear signatures of secondary waves produced by the modulation of tides by planetary waves. The vertically propagating secondary waves serve to modulate longitudinal density structures (due to nonmigrating tides) at planetary wave periods, even in the local absence of planetary waves. In this parametric study, using a general circulation model of Mars, we determine the most important waves produced by these interactions and quantify their induced variability at aerobraking altitudes.
