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). |
