Explore MCS temperature profiles. Perform some basic actions and display plots with Mars Climate Sounder L2 data.

https://atmos.nmsu.edu/data_and_services/atmospheres_data/MARS/atmosphere_temp_prof.html

python packages listed in requirements.txt. To install, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

First, copy config.template to config.local and setup desired paths. To download MCS L2 files, use src/download_files.py. Downloads them to path set by config.local.

To work with data, first select the files to be used by a range of dates. python src/findfiles.py YYYYMMDDHH YYYYMMDDHH > files.dat

From a list of filenames output from src/findfiles.py get profiles from a given time or location. Generates DataFrame that can be saved as csv. python src/splitby.py files.dat > profiles.dat Use -h for more options.

View map of profiles (local time vs. latitude) python src/map_profiles.py files.dat

Temp vs. altitude plots. python src/temp_profiles.py files.dat profiles.dat or python src/temp_profiles.py data.csv meta.csv

Plot temperatures as a function of altitude and latitude, longitude, local time, or Ls python src/long_plots.py files.dat profiles.dat or python src/long_plots.py data.csv meta.csv
