"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's the UV irradiance data from the PDS displayed in graphical form by sol:
http://curiosityrover.com/rems/uv.php There are some weird jumps and scale changes in the data from time to time--it's from the ENVRDR files. I think that the MODRDR files are supposed to have corrected data, but from what I can see the UV data isn't included there yet. The max in the broad band (bandABC, 200-400nm) looks to be about 20 watts/m^2, whatever that translates to in sunburn factor. I that it's a lot, particularly in the "erythemal" band (approximately bands A&B), where 250 mW/m^2 on Earth is considered a UV index of 10. -------------------- |

Interesting. I changed the data files to use release 2--things look a lot better. Thanks, Gerald.
BTW, the UV index as calculated on Earth would (roughly) be in excess of 100, where 11+ is "extreme risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure." -------------------- |
