The climatology of water ice aerosols in the Martian atmosphere as retrieved by MRO/CRISM

Dr. Khayat et al. used hyperspectral observations returned from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) to provide retrievals of the column-integrated optical depth of water ice aerosols for more than 5 Martian years between Mars Year (MY) 28 at Ls = 112° (September 27, 2006) and MY 33 at Ls = 213° (August 30, 2016).

The data here are presented in Figures 7 and 8 of the manuscript "The Mars Atmosphere Water Ice Aerosol Climatology by MRO/CRISM: 5 Mars Years of Observations " by Alain SJ. Khayat, Michael D. Smith, Michael J. Wolff , Scott D. Guzewich, Emily L. Mason, and Samuel Atwood, submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research-Planets.

The file "CRISM_tau_ice_climatology.dat“ is a table of the CRISM climatology of water ice aerosols in the Martian atmosphere. It includes the following information: West longitude, latitude, season (Ls), and the water ice aerosol optical depth around 3300 nm.

Khayat博士及其同事运用火星勘测轨道飞行器（MRO）上的紧凑型侦察成像光谱仪（CRISM）获取的高光谱观测数据，实现了对火星大气中水冰气溶胶柱积分光学深度的提取，该研究跨越了超过5个火星年（从火星年28年，Ls = 112°，即2006年9月27日，至火星年33年，Ls = 213°，即2016年8月30日）。所收集的数据在论文《火星大气水冰气溶胶气候学：MRO/CRISM五年观测》的图7和8中呈现，该论文由Alain SJ. Khayat、Michael D. Smith、Michael J. Wolff、Scott D. Guzewich、Emily L. Mason和Samuel Atwood撰写，并提交至《地球物理研究-行星》期刊。文件“CRISM_tau_ice_climatology.dat”是火星大气中水冰气溶胶CRISM气候学表格，其中包含以下信息：西经、纬度、季节（Ls）以及3300纳米附近的水冰气溶胶光学深度。
