Radar Blackouts at Mars

This data set contains the time when the radars Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) on board Mars Express and the Shallow Radar (SHARAD) on board Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter suffered total or partial blackouts when sounding the surface of Mars. This data set accompanies the following paper, which should be cited if the dataset is used: M. Lester, B. Sanchez-Cano, D. Potts, R. Lillis, M. Cartacci, F. Bernardini, R. Orosei, M. Perry, N. Putzig, B. Campbell, P.-L. Blelly, S. Milan, H. Opgenoorth, O.Witasse, Eleven Years of Radar Blackouts at Mars: Mars Express, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and MAVEN Observations, under review at Journal of Geophysical Research Space Physics (awaiting DOI).

本数据集收录了搭载于火星快车号（Mars Express）的火星地下与电离层探测先进雷达（Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding，MARSIS），以及搭载于火星勘测轨道飞行器（Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter）的浅表层雷达（Shallow Radar，SHARAD）在对火星表面进行探测时发生完全或部分信号中断的时刻数据。本数据集配套如下学术论文，若使用本数据集请引用该文献：M.
