文摘
- •
Gravity waves are used to trigger martian CO2 ice cloud formation in a 1D-model.
- •
Observed crystal effective radii are reproduced for daytime and nighttime clouds.
- •
The cloud evaporates fast (∼10–30 min) once the supersaturated pocket has vanished.
- •
Average dust content does not allow to simulate observed opacities of clouds.
- •
An exogenic (meteoritic) supply of nuclei allows to simulate the observed opacities.
