The influence of radiatively active water ice clouds on the Martian climate (2012, methodology): “The cloud scheme is similar to the one described in Montmessin et al. [2004], except that the amount and size of dust nuclei are computed by the dust transport scheme, instead of following analytical profiles [Montmessin et al., 2004, paragraph 29].”

(2004), which was shown to provides distributions of atmospheric vapor and clouds in very good agreement with MGS TES spectrometer observations (Smith et al., 2001).”
Eight-year climatology of dust optical depth on Mars (2014, methodology): “global climate model (GCM) simulations. Model studies have often been carried out with analytical specications of dust distributions, both in the horizontal and in the vertical (Forget et al., 1999; Montmessin et al, 2004; Kuroda et al., 2008). More recently, modeling groups have been carrying out s”

NOMAD, an Integrated Suite of Three Spectrometers for the ExoMars Trace Gas Mission: Technical Description, Science Objectives and Expected Performance (2018, background): “The interaction between these species varies however with altitude, because it is impacted by global circulation patterns (Montmessin and Lefèvre 2013) and cloud formation (Clancy et al. 1996; Montmessin et al. 2004), especially during the aphelion season.”
