Data used for Investigating the role of Amazonian mesoscale wind patterns and strength on the spatial distribution of Martian bedrock exposures

This upload contains four distinct zipped files with several different datasets contained within used for the analysis in publication "Investigating the role of Amazonian mesoscale wind patterns and strength on the spatial distribution of Martian bedrock exposures" by Gary-Bicas et al., 2022 Description for each dataset is below.

- External data (Contains data used for thermophysical and morphological analysis).

binary files NBmap2007.bin (Putzig and Mellon, 2007) and nmap2003.bin( Putzig et al., 2005) . These contain global Mars thermal inertia maps using the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) onboard Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) 

Comma separated files with terminations "...USGS.csv" these are files extracting data for the studies' regions from the Mars global USGS geologic map #3292 (Tanaka et al., 2014) 

Shape file for bedrock designations (bedrock.[shp,shx,prj,dbf]) created by Cowart et al., 2019 where they mapped locations with bedrock exposures on Mars. We also include comma separated value files of the same maps for locations studied in this analysis (files with termination "...bedrock.csv")

Shape file included has the locations of craters identified in all study regions for analysis (craters.point.[shp,shx,prj,dbf] and craters.polygon.[shp,shx,prj,dbf]) paired with the comma separated value intracrat.csv

Shape file with study locations for analysis (windo_modeling_locations_revised3.[shp,shx,prj,dbf])

- MRAMS data files.zip

Contains 11 simulated climate states for each of the ten study location in analysis as well as Jezero crater using the Mars Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (MRAMS, Rafkin and Michaels, 2019). For each simulated case there are 4 seasonal time steps equating to 44 simulated cases for each study region in total (484 files) see associated python software publication indicating ingestion and processing of MRAMS datasets

- MRAMS output files.zip

After ingesting the datasets in MARS data files.zip into a python algorithm (see associated software publication) values for Wind Erosion Potential were extracted from the datasets and weighted sums were conducted to get annual values (see manuscript publication and associated python software publication,"MRAMS Data Output.ipynb") data was output into comma separated values for ease of use

-MRAMS elevation and slope files.zip

MRAMS data from output files.zip was further ingested into other algorithms to extract elevation and terrain slope values (see associated python software publication, "MRAMS Data Output.ipynb") that were output into comma separated values for ease of use
