Abstract
⺠We examine the impact of resolution on simulation of the martian general circulation. ⺠A vertical split in northern winter circulation forms between low synoptic and global meso-scales. ⺠Northern winter primarily sensitive to zonal resolution and hence representation of eddies. ⺠Increased resolution superposes topographic circulations on large-scale surface winds. ⺠Dust lifting is increasingly sensitive to resolution as stress threshold increases.
