We understand the atmospheres of the other planets in the Solar System primarily from observations made by spacecraft, alongside a hierarchy of numerical models. These models test ideas in the absence of complete or regular observations, which are quite limited for many other planets. There is a particularly important role for numerical methods similar to those used in terrestrial weather and climate science, such as general circulation models and data assimilation. I will discuss my work studying Mars’ and Jupiter’s atmospheres using a range of numerical approaches and spacecraft datasets, including thermal infrared and visible observations from the Emirates Mars Mission, ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, and Cassini. I will also present future plans for this and related topics at the University of Aberdeen.
