MRO Coordinated Observation Search Page

The ODE MRO Coordinated Observation Search page is specific for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) mission. Multiple MRO instruments can take coordinated observations, and this section allows you to view these data products. The page contains three sections of optional parameters that can be set for filtering the result list of coordinated observations processed by ODE.

Expanded Sections:

Filter by Instruments In Coordinated Observation

Select which instrument types must be contained in any coordinated observations searched. For example, a user may only wish to see coordinated observations that contain CRISM, CTX, and HiRISE data products. However, if no instruments are selected, ODE will match any coordinates observations that meet the other criteria.

Find By Location or Feature

This section will find coordinated observations with an aggregate product area that intersects the provided location based on their acenter areocentric Latitude / Longitude projection. The areocentric coordinate system is a right-handed system with the origin at the center of mass of Mars. Areocentric latitude is the angle between the equatorial plane and a vector connecting a point on the surface and the origin of the coordinate system. Latitudes are positive in the northern hemisphere and negative in the southern hemisphere. Areocentric longitude increases to the east.

Use the drop down boxes to select a desired feature or enter the minimum and maximum Latitude / Longitude values. After all four parameters are entered, click the Refresh Map Button to refresh the mini-map with the selected area.

Filter by Observation Time Range

You may also filter your query by the start and end observation time of the products of each coordinated observation. You may enter either a single value or a value range. For a single value, ODE will select coordinated observations that start with the entered value. For example, if you enter "2007-11," ODE will return only coordinated observations with an observation time that is in 2007-11. If you enter "2007-11-01T00.13.27," ODE will return only coordinated observations with an observation time that matches this to the second. You may also enter a range. ODE will select coordinated observations within that range. For example, if you entered "2007-10" and "2008-01," ODE will select coordinated observations with an observation time that starts with 2007-10, 2007-11, 2007-12, and 2008-01.

Step 2. View List of Coordinated Observations

After any desired filtering parameters have been set, the user can click the View in Table button to view the search results. The Reset Form button is used to clear all the filtering parameters of the page.
