AB  - Boundary layer simulations are shown for the first sols of the two Viking landers (VL1, VL2) on Mars. The column model (with cloud/radiation interaction and Prandtl slope wind terms), used successfully for Phoenix and Curiosity, is equipped here with an adsorption-diffusion scheme for water vapor transport in porous regolith. The model's 1.6 m temperatures and winds are quite close to those observed by the two landers; in particular the weak summer slope winds of VL2 are excellently reproduced. ...
