A mathematical model for the Martian polar cap breeze was constructed in part from
work previously done by others on the terrestrial sea breeze. With this model a numerical simulation
corresponding to the Southem Hemisphere winter season was made. The results obtained with the
proposed model show that the Martian polar cap breeze is a well defined system with some similarities
to the terrestrial sea breeze. At the time of maximum intensity, the largest values of vertical velocities
are about 10 cm/s and occur at heights between 850-1250 m. The largest values of horizontal
velocities are about 15 m/s. A "polar cap breeze front" is clearly discernible in the results. The rate
of advance of this front is at an average of about I0 km/h.
