Brightness Temperature Variances from On-Planet Views in the A3 Channel by the Mars Climate Sounder

This dataset contains significant data analysis products related to a manuscript entitled, “A Multiannual Record of Gravity Wave Activity in Mars's Lower Atmosphere from the Mars Climate Sounder,” which was published as: Heavens, N.G., D.M. Kass, A. Kleinböhl, and J.T. Schofield, 2020, A Multiannual Record of Gravity Wave Activity in Mars's Lower Atmosphere from On-Planet Observations by the Mars Climate Sounder, Icarus, 341, 113630, doi: 10.1016/j.icarus.2020.113630. These fall into three broad categories: diagnoses of detrended brightness temperature variance at 635-665 cm-1 in individual views in the nadir or off-nadir by Mars Climate Sounder on board Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter; averages and other statistics of those diagnoses in space and time; and estimated gravity wave visibility functions for nadir, off-nadir, and nadir views with baselines like off-nadir views. This document presumes the manuscript is available to the dataset user. See MCS_A3_GW_Analysis_Dataset_Documentation.pdf for more detailed documentation.

本数据集包含与一篇题为《基于火星气候探测器的火星低层大气重力波活动多年记录》的研究手稿相关的重要数据分析成果，该手稿最终正式发表为：Heavens, N.G.、D.M. Kass、A. Kleinböhl 与 J.T. Schofield，2020年，《基于火星气候探测器在轨火星观测的火星低层大气重力波活动多年记录》，《伊卡洛斯（Icarus）》，第341卷，文章编号113630，DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2020.113630。
该数据集的数据分析成果可划分为三大类别：其一为搭载于火星勘测轨道飞行器（Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MRO）的火星气候探测器（Mars Climate Sounder, MCS），在天底观测或非天底观测视角下，单次观测帧在635-665 cm⁻¹波段经去趋势校正后的亮温方差诊断结果；其二为上述诊断结果在空间与时间维度上的平均值及其他统计特征；其三为针对天底观测、非天底观测，以及基线特征与非天底观测类似的天底观测场景下的重力波可见度函数估计结果。
