Comparisons Between MAVEN/NGIMS Thermospheric Wind Observations and Simulations from the M-GITM Model

Abstract

Ninth International Conference on Mars 2019 (LPI Contrib. No. 2089)Unique observations from the MAVEN mission of neutral winds in the martian thermosphere are compared to simulations from a global circulation model, M-GITM, to help determine how well the physical processes that drive these winds are understood
