Mars Dust Storm Sequence Dataset (MDSSD)

The Mars Dust Storm Sequence Dataset (MDSSD) contains information on dust storm instances and dust storm sequences manually identified in the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Mars Color Imager (MARCI) Mars Daily Global Maps (https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/U3766S). The information includes the position of dust storm instance at pixel level, timing, storm ID, sequence ID (when applicable), and confidence level. Currently, the dataset covers selected time periods during Mars year 28 to 34. The MDSSD was originally documented and analyzed in Wang et al. [2023] to investigate the characteristics and annual cycle of Martian dust storms. Please refer to the paper for details. Updates are made as they become available. The appendix and readme files provide additional information about the current release.

火星沙尘暴序列数据集（Mars Dust Storm Sequence Dataset，缩写MDSSD）收录了从火星勘测轨道飞行器（Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MRO）搭载的火星彩色成像仪（Mars Color Imager, MARCI）生成的每日全球地图（https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/U3766S）中人工识别出的沙尘暴实例与沙尘暴序列相关信息。该数据集涵盖的信息包括沙尘暴实例的像素级空间位置、发生时刻、风暴ID、序列ID（适用时提供）以及置信度等级。目前，本数据集覆盖了火星第28至34年期间的选定观测时段。MDSSD最初由Wang等人[2023]完成文档整理与分析工作，旨在探究火星沙尘暴的演化特征与年循环规律。详细信息请参阅该研究论文。本数据集将随后续可获取的观测数据持续更新。附录与自述文件提供了本版本数据集的额外补充说明。
