Description: Observations and modelling are yielding increasing understanding of the characteristics of the atmospheres of Venus, the Earth, and Mars. Each planet’s atmosphere is unique yet there are also commonalities. In addition, the couplings and interactions amongst dynamics, chemistry, and climate are increasingly being recognised and explored for each of these planets. This session aims to bring together research on the dynamics, chemistry, and climate of Venus, the Earth, and Mars to compare and contrast the characteristics of these planetary atmospheres and the couplings and interactions within each planet’s atmosphere. We invite papers that provide new information on (1) the dynamics, chemistry, or climate of Venus or Mars, (2) comparisons amongst the atmospheres of Venus, the Earth, and Mars, (3) the couplings amongst dynamics, chemistry, and climate on Venus, the Earth, and Mars, and (4) comparisons amongst past evolutionary epochs for Venus, the Earth, and Mars.
