Data Set Abstract |
This data set contains summary pressure data obtained from the Viking Meteorology Instrument System (VMIS) through the duration of the Viking Lander 1 and 2 missions. The data are derived from the ambient pressure sensor carried onboard the Landers. The data set consists of the daily average pressure values and relevant statistics presented on a sol by sol basis. For further background information on the VMIS and results from this experiment, see CHAMBERLAIN_ETAL1976, HESS_ETAL_1977, TILLMAN_ETAL_1979, HESS_ETAL_1980, and SHARMAN_RYAN_1980. An earlier version of this data set, including descriptive documents and plots on microfiche, is archived at the NSSDC (NSSDC ID 75-075C-07I, 75-075C-07J, 75-083C-07I, and 75-083C-07J). |
