Accessing THEMIS Data ISRO-NASA Mars Data Analysis Meeting February 22-25, 2016 Bengaluru, India
Archived THEMIS data is available on NASA’s Planetary Data System Go to: Under “PDS Nodes”, choose “Geosciences” Under “Geosciences Node Data”, choose “Mars” Choose “2001 Mars Odyssey” Choose “THEMIS” to access the THEMIS PDS webpage Direct link: To access the THEMIS data volumes, click “Direct links to THEMIS Data Volumes online at the THEMIS Data Node” Direct link: Camera coordinate data is located under “ODTSDP_v1” Geographically registered data is located under “ODTGEO_v2” THEMIS Data on the PDS 10

THEMIS Data in JMARS (1) The THEMIS team recommends using JMARS to locate and access THEMIS data products JMARS is an open source geospatial information system (GIS) developed by the Mars Space Flight Facility at Arizona State University Registration and Install Guides: JMARS Website: Written and video Tutorials Frequently Ask Questions (FAQ) Help Forums JMARS allows users to search for observations from most Mars instruments (including THEMIS) and view their footprints overlaid on global maps Data can be loaded and displayed within JMARS for initial analysis Provides links for downloading the data products 16

THEMIS Data in JMARS (2) Once in JMARS, users can search for THEMIS image footprints (stamps) by going to: “Add New Layer” -> Category=“Imagery”, “THEMIS” Example Query: Click “Set Lat/Lon Bounds to Main View” will only search for footprints in the area currently displayed Under “Image Type”, select “IR” Under “Viewing Conditions” -> “Incidence Angle”, set the minimum value to “0” and maximum values to “90” Will only search for daytime images Under “Quality Parameters” -> “Image Rating”, set the minimum values to “7” and the maximum values to “7” Will only search for highest quality images Image ratings are only qualitative/subjective Click “Okay” to submit the query 18
