Interannual similarity in the Martian atmosphere during the dust storm season (2016, neutral): “MCS is an infrared nine channel limb staring radiometer [McCleese et al., 2007].”
Density and temperatures of the upper Martian atmosphere measured by stellar occultations with Mars Express SPICAM (2009, methodology): “When plotted in altitude coordinate (not shown) SPICAM nightside observations are consistent with this observation, and suggest that if MRO had been able to make measurements at 90 km and 80 km, it would have been able to detect a polar warming larger than 20 K, at least on the nightside.”
Mars Climate Sounder limb profile retrieval of atmospheric temperature, pressure, and dust and water ice opacity (2009, methodology): “In addition measurements of a blackbody target for calibration of the infrared channels as well as measurements of a solar reflecting target for calibration of the visible channel are performed on a frequent basis [McCleese et al., 2007].”
Martian Year 34 Column Dust Climatology from Mars Climate Sounder Observations: Reconstructed Maps and Model Simulations (2019, methodology): “In this paper we describe how we made use of newly processed dust opacity retrievals from thermal infrared observations of the MRO/MCS instrument (McCleese et al., 2007) in order to reconstruct maps of column dust optical depth specifically for MY 34, and describe aspects of the two-dimensional…”
The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) during MRO’s Primary Science Phase (PSP) (2010, background): “…carries the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM; Murchie et al., 2007), the Shallow Radar (SHARAD; Seu et al., 2007), the Context Camera (CTX; Malin et al., 2007), the Mars Color Imager (MARCI; Malin et al., 2001a), and the Mars Climate Sounder (MCS; McCleese et al., 2007).”
An overview of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) science mission (2007, methodology): “In addition to scanning across Mars [see McCleese et al., 2007], MCS used its two-axis gimbal system to scan around the instrument deck to confirm its field of view with regard to spacecraft structures, including the other instruments on the nadir-pointing (+Z axis) deck.”
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment (2010, methodology): “The MCS bands were tuned to Mars atmospheric spectral features, while Diviner’s bands are designed for measurements of lunar surface temperature, albedo, and the Christiansen feature.”
Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) (2007, methodology): “, 2007], the Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) [McCleese et al., 2007], and the Shallow Radar (SHARAD) [Seu et al.”
Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars investigation and data set from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's primary science phase (2009, methodology): “Introduction [2] The Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) [Murchie et al., 2007a] is one of six major science instruments on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), along with the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) [McEwen et al., 2007], the Mars Color Imager ”
