Abstract The most adequate theoretical method of investigating the present-day Martian climate is numerical simulation based on a model of general circulation of the atmosphere. First and foremost, such models encounter the greatest difficulties in description of aerosols and clouds, which in turn essentially influence temperature fields, the atmosphere circulation, and transport of water in the atmosphere. On the basis of the method of moments, we proposed and implemented as a model of general circulation of the Martian atmosphere a mathematical tool which allows one to calculate ab initio microphysical processes in water clouds and their macroscopic properties. We present some examples of comparing the model with the data of recent Martian missions and consider the influence of separate elements of the climate system on the seasonal hydrologic cycle of the planet.
