Surface temperature of Mars: Exploring diurnal and seasonal variations with the Emirates Mars Mission
View through CrossRef
The ~55 hour orbit of the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) or the “Hope'" orbiter enables it to achieve a near-global coverage of the planet every 4 orbits, or ~9 sols. The Emirates Mars Infrared Spectrometer (EMIRS) instrument on board EMM is used to retrieve surface temperatures. We study the geographical and temporal variation of surface temperature on diurnal and seasonal timescales. We compare these measurements with NASA’s rover measurements —  from the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) suite on board the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) "Curiosity" rover, and the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) suite on board the Mars 2020 "Perseverance” rover. We also compare these measurements with the Mars Climate Database (MCD), identify anomalies in surface temperature and discuss the role of thermal inertia. We discuss other implications of these findings leading to a better understanding of temperature variation on Mars and its impact on weather and climate.
