PDS: The Planetary Atmospheres Node
Sep 24, 2006 (Ls 110.9, MY 28) to October 14, 2024 (Ls 344.8, MY 37) [ongoing]
Profiles of derived atmospheric temperature, and dust (21.6 μm) and water ice (11.9 μm) opacity per kilometer (km-1), from limb observations obtained with the MCS instrument on MRO. Uncertainty (error) bars for the derived temperatures are included. The MRO MCS DDR file within which the graphed data above are provided is available here.

MRO MCS Derived Data Records (DDR) Version 6.2 (February 2025)
This designation of Version 6 makes use of the same versioning designation that is employed by the MCS Team. Specification within published journal papers of MCS data versions employed have generally been referencing the MCS team versioning. The MCS PDS archive version is now synchronized with that of the MCS Team.
The DATASET.CAT document's description of version updates now uses the versioning format of the MCS Team. Previous DATASET.CAT files within the PDS archive used the PDS versioning format, but if you compare the currrent DATASET.CAT document with a previous document you will see that the descriptions of the updates are basically unchanged but the version number at which they were implemented has possibly changed.
This version of the data uses both mid- and far infrared wavelength ranges for the retrieval of aerosol profiles, significantly extending the vertical range of the atmospheric retrievals. It also contains dust and water ice column optical depths derived from the profile retrievals as well as improved surface brightness temperatures. The detailed changes are listed in the DATASET.CAT file in the documents directory.
The data are packaged in an Earth-month Volume structure, with the data therein subdivided into individual Earth-day folders during the month and then into 6 data files per day, so each ASCII file contains 4 hours of time coverage, with one day's 6 files contained within a single day-of-month folder. Data are currently available from September 2006 (mrom_2001) through October 14, 2024 (mrom_2218).
The MCS team strongly recommends downloading the new version of the profiles for any research projects.

NOTE: MCS data are NOT available for the months of September 2009, October 2009, and November 2009 (the 37th, 38th, and 39th months of the archive) because MCS was turned off during those months. There is no MROM_2213 because they were unable to generate derived products from the data that month.
The previous MRO MCS Version 1 or Version 2 DDRs are available on request from Lyle Huber lhuber@nmsu.edu

NOTE: MCS data are NOT available for the months of September 2009, October 2009, and November 2009 (the 37th, 38th, and 39th months of the archive) because MCS was turned off during those months. There is no MROM_2213 because they were unable to generate derived products from the data that month.
The previous MRO MCS Version 1 or Version 2 DDRs are available on request from Lyle Huber lhuber@nmsu.edu
MRO MCS Reduced Data Records (RDR) These volumes contain the reduced data where the reduction is from DNs to physical units. (radiance measurements, for instance). The first data folder, mrom_1001, contains data for September 2006, while the most recent available month's data, mrom_1218, contains data from October 14, 2024.
