arXiv:2605.28851v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The martian atmosphere hosts dynamical phenomena ranging from planet-encircling dust storms to mesoscale orographic clouds and nocturnal low-level jets. General circulation model show capability to simulate these phenomena, but is computationally expensive at resolution needed to resolve mesoscale features. While assimilation of satellite remote sensing observation enable forecasting capabilities using such models, observation record is often sparse, short and fragmented across instrument generators. These constraints motivate the development o
The increasing maturity of AI foundation models and the long-term strategic interest in space exploration are converging to enable new computational approaches for planetary science.
Developing foundation models for complex planetary systems like the Martian atmosphere could significantly advance scientific understanding, resource prospecting, and future exploration capabilities, impacting space agencies and private space ventures.
This initiative represents a shift towards AI-centric methodologies for planetary atmospheric modeling, potentially reducing computational costs and improving the accuracy of climate predictions on other celestial bodies.
