Abstract
A new engineering model of the environment of Mars is outlined. The model is based on a database of statistics computed from a state-of-the-art Global Circulation Model of the martian atmosphere which represents our best knowledge of the atmosphere to date. A novel scheme for the representation of large scale variability in the engineering model, in terms of an optimal set of basis functions derived from the Global Circulation Model, is also outlined and shown to be an efficient and accurate method of representing correlated structures in vertical profiles.
