    The Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) is a visible-infrared hyperspectral mapper that maps the geology, composition, and layering of surface features of Mars. Refer to the PDS Geosciences Node MRO:CRISM page for details concerning the structure of the instrument and its operation.

    The CRISM team had to deal with the obscuring atmosphere, resulting in a series of studies to determine atmospheric abundances and to estimate the effects of the atmosphere on the surface data. This bundle consists of data extracted from the published results of those studies
