Scientific paper

The distribution of dust in the Martian atmosphere helps determine to a large extent the thermodynamic properties of the atmosphere. Various techniques allow scientists to extract detailed information about the Martian atmosphere from low level measurements taken during the different mission to Mars. One of the techniques used to extract atmospheric information from the Mars Rovers is to analyze the data that was obtained by the Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) onboard each of the Rovers during the Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) phase of each mission. Atmospheric entry profiles provide very detailed information about the atmosphere in very specific locations, while data collected by other means than direct entry is less detailed, but usually covers a larger planetary region. Combining information from these various sources will allow some fine tuning to atmospheric thermodynamic models, which will in turn improve predictions made by the models. Comparisons between model predictions and collected data will be presented. This work is funded by NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) College Student Investigator (CSI) program.
