| Data Set Abstract |
This data set consists of a catalog of clouds observed in Mariner
9 and Viking Orbiter images. Seven 'cloud types' were
defined according to easily observable objective morphologic
criteria. The entire Mariner 9 and Viking Orbiter image data sets
(approximately 7400 and over 50000 images, respectively) were
examined at least twice, by two separate observers. Cloud
occurrences were compiled by examining images for specific cloud
morphologies, examining the same area at different times,
utilizing limb images, and consulting photomosaics to determine
the spatial relations of cloud obscurations. |
