The latitudinal heat flow, and hence both the variation in temperature across Mars' surface and the strength of winds and the CO2 frost cycle, can be successfully predicted by assuming the flow maximizes the production of entropy. This simple principle also applies to the Earth and Titan, and requires minimal prior knowledge to predict the climate state. The principle predicts higher heat flow than does conventional pressure-scaling: this has important implications for low- and high-latitude temperatures on Mars in the past and future. Additional information can be found in the original extended abstract.
