The overall aim of this research project is to make new discoveries through analyzing existing data. We will investigate the atmosphere from synoptic and seasonal scale to microscale and will perform signal characterization of the recent Martian atmospheric observations. The analysis will be combined with extensive atmospheric modeling using state-of-the-art Martian atmospheric physics and meteorological models. Currently scientific analysis of the wealth of Martian atmospheric observations by various Mars missions is lagging behind. This research project is clearly needed. Mars is a highly interesting planet due to the fact that Mars and the Earth are sister planets - they have nearly similar atmospheric dynamics. Our sustainable development objective is that by investigating Mars and its atmosphere we can learn also about the Earth.
