Thomson Weather AbstractA key feature in polar atmospheric dynamics, polar vortices are found on many planets, with those on Mars the most studied beyond Earth. We review current understanding of the physical processes that give the Martian polar vortices their barotropically unstable annular structure, with latent heating from condensation of atmospheric CO2 found to be the major forcing mechanism. We summarise previous work investigating spatial variability of the polar vortices, and outline some of the unanswered questions about potential causes of this spatial variability and how it impacts cross‐vortex transport of dust and trace gases. 10.1002/wea.7713 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
