Description

Dataset associated to manuscript 2022JE007278, "Martian atmospheric temperature and density profiles during the 1st year of NOMAD/TGO solar occultation measurements", submitted on Feb 28th, 2022, to Journal of Geophysical Research - Planets (AGU) for the Special Issue "ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter: One Martian Year of Science".

Format and Number of datafiles:  1 README.txt and 1 tar file containing 325 ASCII files, one for each retrieved NOMAD scan. Each of these files contains one vertical profile of 7 parameters: altitude (km), Temperature in the last iteration (K), atmospheric pressure (mb), Temperature of First Guess (K), pressure of First Guess (mb), Temperature retrieval error (K) and diagonal element fo the Averaging Kernel matrix at that tangent altitude (normalized to 0-1). Also, the header of each file contains extra info, like the NOMAD "internal" data filename, and the ranges in latitude, longitude, Local  time, Solar Longitude, tangent heights observed, and Line-of-Sight shift needed to obtain a good fit, together with the number of altitudes in the retrieval vector (usually around 100 km). See README file for more details.
