1.  MGS2 Simulations: 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mars Season: Ls = 90
-Solar EUV-UV fluxes:  F10.7 = 130-cm index (solar moderate)
-EUV-UV heating efficiency: E = 18%
-Global mean integrated vertical dust opacity:  tau= 0.3
-Conrath Parameter: CR = 0.3  (shallow mixing)
-Maximum eddy coefficient: Kzz = 1.5x10^7 cm2/sec
-Lopez-Valverde CO2 NLTE 15-micron cooling formulation
 {k(O-CO2) = 3.0 x 10^-12 cm3/sec (O-CO2 de-activation rate used)}

-8-SOL numerical integration, yielding histories at 1.0-SOL intervals
-1-SOL additional integration, yielding histories at 1.0-hour intervals
 (outputs used in producing all Figures)

2.  MRO Simulations: 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-Mars Seasons: Ls = 30, 90
-Solar EUV-UV fluxes:  F10.7 = 100-cm index (approaching solar minimum)
-EUV-UV heating efficiency: E = 18%
-Global mean integrated vertical dust opacity:  tau= 0.3
-Conrath Parameter: CR = 0.3  (shallow mixing)
-Maximum eddy coefficient: Kzz = 1.5x10^7 cm2/sec
-Lopez-Valverde CO2 NLTE 15-micron cooling formulation
 {k(O-CO2) = 3.0 x 10^-12 cm3/sec (O-CO2 de-activation rate used)}

-8-SOL numerical integration, yielding histories at 1.0-SOL intervals
-1-SOL additional integration, yielding histories at 1.0-hour intervals
 (outputs used in producing all Figures)
