The Data
The description of the Sol-Averaged Pressure Values
The data are derived from the ambient pressure sensor carried onboard the Landers. The data set consists of the daily average pressure values and relevant statistics presented on a sol-by-sol basis.
Retrieving the Data
Both Viking1 and 2 data are available in the data folder of volume vl_1001. The data file and labels are identified as vl_avep.dat, vl_avep.xml and vl_avep.lbl.
