We have recently completed a re-analysis of the Mariner 9 and Viking 1 and 2 occultation data and produced a new model for the long wavelength topography of Mars. To derive this model we re-computed the orbits of the spacecraft using a new gravity field model for Mars, employed the latest planetary ephemerides and planetary dynamics models, re-estimated the atmospheric refraction corrections, and referenced the topography to an improved geoid. We believe the overall accuracy of the topographic model to be approximately 500 meters.
