Model input and output files for modeling surface gravity waves on a schematized ancient lake on Mars

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 07, 2026 | Last Modified: 2022-04-06T00:00:00Z
This portion of the data release presents a wave model application developed to simulate wind generated surface gravity waves on an ancient lake on Mars. The phase-averaged wave model, SWAN, was applied within the Delft3D modeling system (Deltares, 2018) with reduced gravity and a range of atmospheric densities and wind speeds to simulate potential conditions that could generate wind waves on Mars. The data release includes model input files for simulations with three different atmospheric densities, compatible with version 4.04.01 of the Delft3D modeling system.
