<div>The Open access to Mars Assimilated Remote Soundings (OpenMARS) database is a reanalysis product combining past spacecraft observations with a state-of-the-art Mars Global Circulation Model (GCM). The OpenMARS product is a global surface/atmosphere reference database of key variables for multiple Mars years.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Spacecraft observations of column dust optical depth and temperature profiles from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) instrument on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft are combined with a Mars GCM used at the Open University. The standard database includes 2-hourly output of key dynamic and surface variables such as zonal/meridional wind, temperature as a function of altitude and column dust optical depth.</div><div><br></div><div>Extended details on this dataset can be found in the OpenMARS-MY24-27-reference-manual.pdf document included in this repository.</div><div><br></div><div>This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 633127.<br></div>
