Mars Global Surveyor: TES Thermal
Inertia Maps
This data set consists of thermal inertia maps derived
using Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer thermal
bolometer temperature observations. The observations used to
generate the maps were acquired over three Mars-years from orbit
1583 to orbit 24346 (February 1999 to April 2004). Maps use only
nightside or dayside data with surface temperatures between 160 and
400 K. The derived range is 5 to 5000 J/(m^2*K*sqrt(s)). Higher and
lower values are not computed. The data were provided by Nathaniel
E. Putzig, Southwest Research Institute, and Michael T. Mellon,
University of Colorado Boulder.

first.
VOLDESC.CAT
- Description of the volume contents as a PDS catalog
object. |
INDEX Directory - The INDEX directory contains a
PDS index file for this archive. An index file is an ASCII
table with each record (or line) in the table containing
information about a single data product in archive. See the
file
INDXINFO.TXT
for additional details.
-
INDEX.TAB
- A list of all data files in the archive. Use this file
to browse the data. This file is described by the label
INDEX.LBL.

DATA Directory - This data set comprises several
images that include thermal inertia maps and interpolation
masks. Thermal inertia map images contain thermal inertia
values derived from MGS TES thermal bolometer temperature
observations. An interpolation mask, denoted by "msk" in the
product filename, is provided for each map, which identifies
those pixels where the map has been infilled by
interpolation. If the interpolated pixels are not desired,
they can be removed by multiplying the thermal inertia map
by the associated interpolation mask. Each data product is
accompanied by a detached PDS label.

CATALOG Directory - Files in the CATALOG directory
are text files containing documentation formatted in PDS
object description language. The files contain information
about the MGS Mission, TES instrument, the data set, the
data set map projection, references, and personnel involved
in archiving the data. The contents of this directory are
described in
CATINFO.TXT.
|
BROWSE Directory - The BROWSE directory contains
colorized JPEG versions of the thermal inertia maps. Each
image is accompanied by a detached PDS label. The contents
of this directory are described in
BROWINFO.TXT.
