TL;DR: The behavior of Mars as observed by the Viking infrared thermal mapper (IRTM) is considered in this article, where the IRTM is a 28-channel, 4-telescope radiometer that operated in six spectral bands.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Validation of a web-based atmospheric correction tool for single thermal band instruments
TL;DR: The Atmospheric Correction Parameter Calculator as mentioned in this paper uses the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) modeled atmospheric global profiles interpolated to a particular date, time and location as input.
Journal ArticleDOI
Martian north pole summer temperatures: dirty water ice.
TL;DR: Broadband thermal and reflectance observations of the martian north polar region in late summer yield temperatures for the residual polar cap near 205 K with albedos near 43 percent; there is no evidence for any permanent carbon dioxide polar cap.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal inertia mapping of Mars from 60°S to 60°N
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used twenty-micrometer brightness temperatures to derive the thermal inertia for 81% of the Martian surface between latitudes ± 60°, and found that the distribution of thermal inertia is strongly bimodal with all values less than 4 × 10−3 cal cm−2 sec−12°K−1 being associated with three disjoint bright regions mostly in the northern hemisphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the Mars Global Surveyor mission
TL;DR: The Mars Global Surveyor (MSG) spacecraft was placed into Mars orbit on September 11, 1997, and by March 9, 1999, had slowly circularized through aerobraking to a Sun-synchronous, near-polar orbit with an average altitude of 378 km as discussed by the authors.
