A new model to simulate the Martian mesoscale and microscale atmospheric circulation: Validation and first results (2009, methodology): “accordingly with the observation conditions for the MiniTES instrument on board MER/Spirit [Smith et al., 2006].”
Overview of the Opportunity Mars Exploration Rover mission to Meridiani Planum: Eagle crater to Purgatory ripple (2006, background): “Two papers focus on atmospheric investigations [Bell et al., 2006; Smith et al., 2006].”
Eight-year climatology of dust optical depth on Mars (2014, background): “s PanCam cameras until L s ˘191 7 (Spirit) and L s ˘269 (Opportunity) in MY 28. After L s ˘269 the detectors were covered by dust from the MY 28 planet-encircling dust storm and became unreliable. Smith et al. (2006) have retrieved CDOD from upward-looking nadir observations at IR wavelengths center”
Density and temperatures of the upper Martian atmosphere measured by stellar occultations with Mars Express SPICAM (2009, methodology): “Smith, personal communication, 2007) and from the two Mars Exploration Rover (MER) on the surface [Smith et al., 2006].”
The Modern Near-Surface Martian Climate: A Review of In-situ Meteorological Data from Viking to Curiosity (2017, methodology): “Nighttime observations were rare (Smith et al. 2006), with the vast majority of the measurements being made between 09:00 and 18:00 Local Mean Solar Time (LMST).”
THE MARTIAN ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER (2011, methodology): “…of limited power resources of the rovers, the Mini‐TES observations typically cover only a limited fraction of the diurnal cycle, typically from the morning to afternoon (approximately 10:00–17:00 LT); observations during other parts of the diurnal cycle are sparse [Smith et al., 2004, 2006].”
Constraints on dust aerosols from the Mars Exploration Rovers using MGS overflights and Mini‐TES (2006, methodology): “More specifically, one can eliminate a large degree of potential uncertainty in the retrieved parameters by constructing thermal profiles from the surface (20 m) to more than 30 km using the 667 cm 1 CO2 band [Smith et al., 2006], select the data with minimal amounts of water ice aerosols, and provi”
Spacecraft Observations of the Martian Atmosphere (2008, methodology): “Currently, the two MERs are monitoring dust optical depth by direct imaging of the Sun by the Pancam instrument (Lemmon et al. 2004) and through retrievals using infrared spectra taken by the MiniTES instrument (Smith et al. 2006).”
