PHX-M-MET-2-L-EDR-V1.0

PHOENIX MARS MET LIDAR ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES EDR V1.0

The PHX Atmospheric Lidar Profiles product contains unprocessed laser scattering atmospheric profiles for photon counting data at 532nm, and analog data at both 532 and 1064nm wavelengths (expressed in Dignal Numbers). The range data is provided as a time series of profiles between 5 and 90 min in total duration, with each profile representing an accumulation or average over 1.28-20.24 sec. Supplemental data of estimated laser power and inter-profile analog background skylight estimates are also provided.

PHX-M-MET-3-L-RDR-V1.0

PHOENIX MARS MET LIDAR ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES RDR V1.0

The PHX Atmospheric Lidar Profiles product contains raw (volts and counts) laser scattering atmospheric profiles for photon counting data at 532nm, and analog data at both 532 and 1064nm wavelengths. The range data is provided as a time series of profiles between 5 and 90 min in total duration, with each profile representing an accumulation or average over 1.28-20.24 sec. Supplemental data of estimated laser power (given as a voltage) and inter-profile analog background skylight estimates are also provided.
