MGS MOC Mars Daily Global Maps

This dataset contains Mars Daily Global Maps (MDGMs) made from the wide-angle global map swath images taken by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC). The raw images are available at the Planetary Data Systems (PDS)'s Imaging node. MDGMs are organized as a .tar file for each mission subphase. Each mission subphase usually contains about a month's of data. Each MDGM covers the whole sun-lit planet as observed at about 2 PM local time on each day. It is composed from 13 consecutive sets of red and blue MGS MOC global map swaths. Each MGS MOC MDGM consists of 1 north polar map (45N-90N in polar stereographic projection), 1 south polar map (45S-90S in polar stereographic projection) and 1 non-polar map (60S-60N in simple cylindrical projection). It has a 0.1 degree longitude by 0.1 degree latitude resolution. The procedure used for making MDGMs is described in Wang H. and Ingersoll, A.P., 2002.

A similar MDGM dataset made from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Mars Color Imager (MARCI) wide-angle images can be found on Harvard Dataverse at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/G2VENZ for Version 1 and at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/U3766S for Version 2.
