Infrared Brightness Temperature of Mars, 1983-2103
نویسنده
چکیده
The predicted infrared brightness temperature of Mars using the 1976 model of Wright is tabulated here for the period 1983 to 2103. This model was developed for far-infrared calibration, and is still being used for JCMT calibration. Subject headings: Mars, infrared

Whole Disk Observations of Jupiter, Saturn and Mars in Millimeter–Submillimeter Bands
Whole disk brightness ratios for Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars are reported at 5.7, 9.5, 16.4, and 22.5 cm. Using models for the brightness temperature of Mars, the whole disk brightness temperatures for Jupiter and Saturn are also given for the four frequencies. Subject headings: balloons — cosmic microwave background — infrared: solar system — planets and satellites: individual (Jupiter, Mars, Sa...
متن کاملClassification of hydrometeors using microwave brightness temperature data from AMSU-B over Iran
The Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-B (AMSU-B) installed on the NOAA-15, 16, and 17 satellites, is the new generation of a series of microwave imagers/sounders that can sense atmospheric moisture and other hydrometeors through clouds. This paper demonstrates the potential of multi-frequency AMSU-B data for classifying different types of hydrometeors. Ten types of these hydrometers have been co...
متن کاملA Passive Instrument to Search for Brines in the Shallow Martian Subsurface
Introduction: Large amounts of water ice exist on Mars, but the presence of pure liquid water is inhibited by the planet's low temperature [1]. However, liquid saline water or brines can be present because many salts can depress the freezing temperature below current values [1-8]. The Phoenix Mars Mission discovered salts [9] in the soil of its landing site in the martian Arctic capable of depr...
متن کاملComparison of near-infrared and thermal infrared cloud phase detections
[1] We compare the results of the cloud thermodynamic phase detections that use (1) the ratio of the near-infrared and visible bands or (2) the brightness temperature difference of two thermal infrared bands. We find that the brightness temperature difference algorithm using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) bands is generally consistent with the expectations based on th...
متن کاملMartian Cold Spot Activty in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and the Effects of the Global Dust Storm of 2001
Introduction: Mariner and Viking were the first to observe cold spot activity in the polar regions of Mars in the 1970s [1]. Cold spots are identified as areas with 20µm brightness temperatures that are as low as 130 K, which is significantly below the CO 2 ice sublimation temperatures [1]. Studies of data from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) [2, 3], Mars Orbital ...
