Scientific paper

The Mars Climate Sounder (MCS) instrument on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is a two telescope 9 channel filter radiometer covering a wavelength range from 0.3 to 45µm. The instrument is operated primarily in a limb-scanning mode giving complete latitude coverage from MRO's 3PM/3AM polar orbit.
Each of the nine radiometer channels has a linear array of 21 discrete detectors, giving altitude coverage from 0 to 80km in limb scanning mode, with several channels sensitive to changes in dust and condensate abundance in the atmosphere. This paper describes limb observations made by MCS of changes in brightness temperature connected with the Martian dust storm that started at the end of June 2007. The MCS measurements are then compared with nadir maps made by the Mars Odyssey THEMIS instrument and both are compared with the heating/cooling expected from different dust-storm scenarios calculated by the Oxford/Paris Mars Global Circulation Model.
