"February 27, 2013. MSL Release 1, part 1, Sols 0-89.
The first release of MSL data takes place in two parts. Part 1, February 27, 2013, includes raw data products (EDRs) acquired on Sols 0 through 89, August 6 through November 5, 2012, for these instruments: APXS, ChemCam, DAN, Hazcam, Navcam, and REMS, along with SPICE data. Part 2, March 20, 2013, will include the derived data products (RDRs) for Sols 0 though 89 for the APXS, ChemCam, DAN, Hazcam, Navcam, and REMS instruments, along with both the EDRs and RDRs for the CheMin and RAD instruments, and the RDRs for the SAM instrument. Release 1 does not include data from the MAHLI, MARDI, or Mastcam instruments. These instrument teams have not yet delivered data products to PDS. Some documents in the MSL archives are awaiting clearance by JPL Document Review and/or the JPL Import/Export Control Office. They will be posted online as soon as clearance has been received, and announced on this web site." Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Here a regression polyline (consisting of 20 Kelvin line fragments) using a least squares method for Sol 89 Brightness Temperature B vs. Brightness Temperature A:
It doesn't fully exploit all statistical properties, but it may be useful from a practical point of view as a map from Brightness Temperature B data to an adjusted value comparable to Brightness Temperature A: The first diagram shows the Sol 89 Brightness Temperature B, as provided by the PDS data. The second plot shows the adjusted B data (in red) together with A data (in black). The third diagram shows the two Brightness Temperatures averaged over a 40 record window, respectively. Averaging adjusted B-temperatures should be sufficiently appropriate. EDIT: Replaced graphics after fixing inaccuracies of the least squares algorithm. |
