Staircase Models from Affine Toda Field Theory
We propose a class of purely elastic scattering theories generalising the
staircase model of Al. B. Zamolodchikov, based on the affine Toda field
theories for simply-laced Lie algebras g=A,D,E at suitable complex values of
their coupling constants. Considering their Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz
equations, we give analytic arguments in support of a conjectured
renormalisation group flow visiting the neighbourhood of each W_g minimal model
in turn.Comment: 22 pages, Saclay-Bologna preprint SPhT/92-065, DFUB-92-0

Atmospheric modelling for NOMAD-UVIS on board the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter mission
The Ultraviolet and Visible Spectrometer (UVIS) instrument development process requires the construction of an atmospheric model to provide synthetic UV transmission spectra. We discuss the requirements of the model to enable observational limits to be found, and the potential for certain atmospheric parameters to be further constrained

A multi-spacecraft reanalysis of the atmosphere of Mars
We have conducted a nine-Mars Year (MY) consistent reanalysis of the martian atmosphere covering the period MY 24–32 and making use of data from three different spacecraft. Remotely-sensed measurements of temperature, dust opacity, water ice and ozone from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and Mars Recconaisance Orbiter (MRO) and ESA’s Mars Express (MEx) were assimilated [1] into a single model simulation, sampled two-hourly over the whole period. This forms a large, regular reanalysis dataset that is being made publicly available as an output of the EU UPWARDS project. The same analysis technique, with an improved model and higher resolution will be conducted with ESA Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) data as it becomes available

Trace gas assimilation of Mars orbiter observations
Ozone, water vapour and argon are minor constituents in the Martian atmosphere, observations of which can be of use in constraining atmospheric dynamical and physical processes. This is especially true in the winter season of each hemisphere, when the bulk of the main constituent in the atmosphere (CO2 ) condenses in the polar regions shifting the balance of atmospheric composition to a more trace gas rich air mass.
Current Mars Global Circulation Models (MGCMs) are able to represent the photochemistry occuring in the atmosphere, with constraints being imposed by comparisons with observations. However, a long term comparison using data assimilation provides a more robust constraint on the model. We aim to provide a technique for trace gas data assimilation for the analysis of observations from current and future satellite missions (such as ExoMars) which observe the spatial and temporal distribution of trace gases on Mars
