<p dir="ltr">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.</p><p dir="ltr">Spacecraft observations of column dust optical depth and temperature profiles from the Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter 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.</p><p dir="ltr">Extended details on this dataset can be found in the OpenMARS-MY28-35-reference-manual.pdf document included in this repository.</p>
Whole dataset replaced with updated version after an issue was noticed with the calculation of surface pressure. This issue has been resolved in version 3 of the dataset
