REMS Pressure Data











    REMS Pressure Data


    CERTIFIED



    The pressure portion of the REMS data set includes a string describing sensor configuration, pressure measurements, absolute accuracy of the pressure measurement and a string describing the confidence level of the sensor. All fully processed data in this subset are available.

    Columns in Reduced MOD RDR files:
    (Pressure Sensor Configuration, Pressure, Pressure Uncertainty, Pressure Sensor Confidence Level)



    MSL Daily Averaged Pressure










































    The above plot displays daily averaged pressure in Pascals against solar longitude in degrees for the first 440 sols of the MSL mission.



    Diurnal Pressure Cyle










































    This plot highlights the diurnal pressure cycle, or daily pressure variations, that occur at Gale Crater. It displays pressure measurements in Pascals over 3 sols of the MSL mission. The uncertainty of these pressure measurements is approximately 3.5 Pa.
