Data assimilation for Mars: an overview of results from the Mars Global Surveyor period, proposals for future plans and requirements for open access to assimilation output
The Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) aboard Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) has produced an extensive atmospheric data set, both during the initial aerobraking hiatus and later from the scientific mapping phase of the mission which lasted almost three complete Martian seasonal cycles. Thermal profiles for the atmosphere below about 40 km, and total dust and water ice opacities, have been retrieve...
متن کاملAssimilation of Thermal Emission Spectrometer atmospheric data during the Mars Global Surveyor aerobraking period
The Thermal Emission Spectrometer aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has produced an extensive atmospheric data set, beginning during aerobraking and continuing throughout the extended scientific mapping phase. Temperature profiles for the atmosphere below about 40 km, surface temperatures and total dust and water ice opacities, can be retrieved from infrared spectra in nadir viewing mo...
متن کاملThermal Tides in an Assimilation of Three Years of Thermal Emissionspectromenter Data from Mars Global Surveyor
Introduction. Thermal tides are particularly prominent in the Mars atmosphere with the result that temperature and wind fields have a strong dependence on local solar time (LT). Tides include westward propagating migrating (sun-synchronous) waves driven in response to solar heating and additional nonmigrating waves resulting from zonal variations in the thermotidal forcing. Zonal modulation of ...

متن کاملAssimilation of Mars Global Surveyor atmospheric temperature data into a general circulation model
We examined the observed temperature data from Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) between heliocentric longitude L• = 141 ø and 146 ø (•10 Martian days in northern summer) during the mapping phase, then compared them with the simulated results using the NASA/Ames Mars general circulation model. Both show a strong polar vortex at the winter pole, higher equatorial temperatures near the ground a...
