Scientific paper

One goal in the study of Mars is to understand its water cycle and the total water budget. As part of this, I am working on trying to measure water ice content in Martian clouds. The catch is that in order to measure the water abundance in clouds using near-infrared (NIR) spectra, one must know the surface spectrum, since it is an input for radiative transfer modeling—but to get the surface spectrum, one must be able to remove the effects of the atmosphere and aerosols. I will present four primary methods of modeling away the surface in order to retrieve the ice cloud (and dust) optical depth and compare and contrast them for both ease-of-use and apparent accuracy.
