摘要
•Simulations of the meteorology of Gale crater with the Mars regional atmospheric modeling system compare favorably to the data recorded by the rover environmental monitoring station aboard the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover.•Simulations are conducted for periods covering Ls 0, 90, 180 and 270.•The model may be used to provide context for the observations and to elucidate the physics behind the variations of the observed meteorological parameters.
