| DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
Data Set Overview : The Ames Mars General Circulation Model is a three dimensional model based on the primitive equations of meteorology. It includes the radiative effects of dust and carbon dioxide as well as other features such as large-scale topography (see [POLLACKETAL1990]; [BARNESETAL1993]; and [HABERLEETAL1993]). This data set contains the surface topography, obtained from a combination of relevant ground-based and spacecraft data ([KLIOREETAL1973]; [CONRATHETAL1973]). The data were smoothed for compatibility with the model resolution. The model has 25 latitude bins (7.5 degree resolution) and 40 longitude bins (9.0 degree resolution). The data set is the following configuration (listed as field followed by description): LATITUDE Latitude, degrees LONGITUDE Longitude, degrees TOPOG_GH Smoothed topography, geopotential height (m**2/sec**2) TOPOG_KM Smoothed topography, km

| CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE |
Confidence Level Overview : The Ames Mars General Circulation Model is a three dimensional computer model based upon the primitive equations of meteorology. It includes the radiative effects of dust and carbon dioxide as well as other features such as large-scale topography. Model results are dependent upon the selected initial conditions and spatial and temporal resolution of the model, and may not fully incorporate the effects of some physical processes represented by paramaterizations made by the model.
