Introduction: The Aim Of The Horizon 2020
Roadmap Project (Http://Roadmap.Aeronomie.Be) Is
To Better Understand The Role And Impact Of Dust And
Clouds On The Martian Atmosphere Through An Integrated Approach Involving Lab Measurements, Micromodelling, Global Climate Modelling And Remote
Sensing Observations.
One Of The Specific Goals Set Out For The Project Is
To Improve Our Understanding Of The Mechanisms
Responsible For Dust Lifting And Transport. When Dust
Is Lifted From The Surface And Transported Aloft, It Has
A Significant Effect On The Temperature And Circulation Of The Atmosphere. Several Processes Can Lift
Dust From The Surface, Including Saltation And Dust
Devils.
