A Mars General Circulation Model (GCM) is a sophisticated numerical model used to simulate and understand the climate and atmospheric dynamics of Mars. These models are based on the principles of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics and aim to replicate the physical processes occurring in Mars's atmosphere, including temperature distribution, wind patterns, and the behavior of clouds and dust.
