  1. Thermal Emission Imaging System Atmospheric Correction Colin Ho ASU Mars Space Flight Facility Mentor: Phil Christensen

  2. Overview • Full atmospheric correction of Thermal Emission Imaging System IR stamps would provide a valuable source of spectral data that can be used for determining the Martian surface composition at a high resolution (100m/pixel) THEMIS visible stamp and TES mineral map resolution comparison image from JMARS

  3. Objective • To determine if atmospherically correcting Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) IR spectra using Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) data as a basis provides useful data • Assumptions • TES data is pure surface emissivity • General atmospheric composition has little shift over time

  4. Method Selecting an area • Acquiring data • Data access tools • TES – vanilla • THEMIS - THMPROC • Processing data • Programming tool • davinci • Using scripts such as i2i (Christensen) TES pixel outlined upon THEMIS stamp with MOLA in background Image from JMARS

  5. Test Case • Area of 44 to 44.25E, 2.75 to 3N used (day IR) Raw data comparison After processing using i2i

  6. Test Case Results • The derived atmospheric emissivity correlated to the expected atmospheric spectral dust emissivity Atmospheric dust emissivity (Smith, Bandfield, Christensen, 2000) Atmospheric emissivity derived from the difference between TES and THEMIS

  7. Analysis • In the initial test case, the results were found to be suitable for atmospheric correction purposes • Plans for future improvement • Using a larger temporal and spatial spread of data • Applying multiple methods of determining emissivity difference • Automating data retrieval, and processing
