Atmospheric Environment Characterization in Support of the ESA ExoMars Mission • Intercomparison LMD – SwRI models T. Bertrand, S. Rafkin, F. Forget, A. Spiga, E. Millour
Project status • November– start • Phase 1 : LMD built1D version for SWRI for radiative transfersynchronisation • LMD sent referenceprofiles • December • First SWRI profiles received • Solvingreference time issues (bug, LTST vs LMST, UT versus LT) • Investigation on surface temperaturedisagreement • Problemof shortwaveflow • LMD founda bug in SWRI latitude • Tuningthe right options in both model (philosophy: LMD fit SWRI)
Project status • January • Comparison of 1D reference profiles with dust opacities at 0.2, 1, 5 • LMD tries to match SWRI dust radiative effects and radiative models by tuning: • Dust opacity • Dust visible single scaterring albedo ("brightness of the dust") • Dust thermal infrared opacity vs visible opacity
Radiative transfer setting – 1D configuration • 1D Run parameters – 6 cases: • Comparison LMD – SwRI without tunning • Comparison LMD – SwRIwith tunning of dust properties • Note : the radiative transfer model used by SWRI (NASA Ames) is known to underestimate dust heating rates. They partly compensate that by using "dark" dust radiative properties.

Conclusion • 1D comparisons are globally ok • Turbulent diffusion scheme in the boundary layer: fundamentalmodel differencesthatshouldbekept in the intercomparison ? • Green light has been given to SwRI to start running GCM, Mesoscaleand LES models.
