This directory contains planet characterization data (atmospheric profiles,
surface properties, and the like) for Mars

Mars.surface_complex_refr_index_field.xml
-----------------------
- global field of surface refractive index
- originating from dielectric constant data (real part only; hence imag. part
   set to 0) provided by Hartogh&Rezac (MPI) within ESA Planetary study
- for more details see TechnicalNote2 of the ESA Planetary study

Mars.z_surface.xml
-----------------------
!!!!!
!NOTE: this is deviation from mean surface altitude, i.e. by definition half of
! the area has negative altitudes. Atmospheric altitude data has a different
! reference and is only defined above 5m. That is this data CAN NOT BE USED
! globally and IS NOT necessarily CONSISTENT.
!!!!!
- global terrain model data
- delivered by Hartogh&Rezac (MPI) within ESA Planetary study
- for more details see TechnicalNote2 of the ESA Planetary study
- modified for meeting constant at poles requirement by explicitly adding pole
   points (else ARTS extrapolates which leads to non-constant values at poles)
   created by extrapolation at all longitudes and taking the mean of those
   extrapolated points.

Mars.Ls[0,90,180,270].[day,night].dust-[low,medium,high]/*.t_surface.xml
-----------------------
- global field(s) of surface (=skin) temperature
- all currently available delivered by Hartogh&Rezac (MPI) within ESA Planetary
   study
- available for 4 seasons, day/night, and 3 dust loadings (corresponding to
   atmospheric cases, except negligible dependence on solar activity)
- for more details see TechnicalNote2 of the ESA Planetary study

Mars.Ls[0,90,180,270].[day,night].dust-[low,medium,high]/Mars.Ls[0,90,180,270].[day,night].dust-[low,medium,high].sol-[min,avg,max]/*.xml
-----------------------
- (1D) atmospheric profiles (grouped into scenarios with one folder per scenario)
- contain profiles over p of T,z, trace gas VMR, dust and H2O-ice M/VMR, winds,
   electron densities
- available for 4 seasons, day/night, 3 dust loadings, and 3 solar activities
- all currently available delivered by Hartogh&Rezac (MPI) within ESA Planetary
   study
