Scientific paper

The Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) instrument is a Fourier transform Michelson interferometer operating with 10 or 5 cm-1 sampling in the thermal infrared spectral region from 1700 to 200 cm-1 (-6 to 50 micrometers) where virtually all minerals have characteristic fundamental vibrational absorption bands. The TES data used in this paper are among the 6 x 107 spectra collected during the early mapping phase of the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) mission from southern hemisphere winter to early summer (aerocentric longitude, Ls, 107 deg to 297 deg. The methodology for separating the surface and atmospheric components of the radiance from Mars, which allows detailed analysis and interpretation of surface mineralogy, is described in previous paper. Additional information is contained in original extended abstract.
