MRO CRISM Derived Data Record (DDR)

Instrument: Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars

PDS Data Set ID: MRO-M-CRISM-6-DDR-V1.0

For more information about CRISM products, go to the CRISM Product Primer.

For more information about DDRs, see the CRISM Data Product SIS.

A Derived Data Record (DDR) accompanies each observation pointed at Mars’ surface, and includes information needed to map project data calibrated to units of radiance or I/F, or to process them further to Lambert albedo corrected for photometric, atmospheric, and thermal effects.

There are two types of information in DDRs: geometric information (latitude, longitude, incidence, emission, and phase angles) and information on surface physical properties (slope magnitude and azimuth, thermal inertia).

Once image data are assembled into EDRs and calibrated into TRDRs, DDRs are created for the data. DDRs contain multiple-band images with the same spatial dimensions as a scene EDR or the resulting TRDR. There is one DDR per VNIR TRDR or scene EDR, and one DDR per IR TRDR or scene EDR. The DDR is indexed to the wavelength bands of EDRs and TRDRs that are closest to 610 nm (VNIR) or 2300 nm (IR).

Description

Coverage

Targeted (hyperspectral)

Tracking as shown, once per target

Full resolution (FRT)

Spatial pixels unbinned for target – 18 m/pixel @ 300 km, 10x binned for EPF

~6500 per Mars year

Half resolution short (HRS)

Spatial pixels 2x binned for target – 36 m/pixel @ 300 km, 10x binned for EPF; same swath length as above

Half resolution long (HRL)

Spatial pixels 2x binned for target – 36 m/pixel @ 300 km, 10x binned for EPF; twice swath length as above

Full resolution short (FRS)

Spatial pixels unbinned for target – 18 m/pixel @ 300 km; half swath length as above

Along-track oversampled (ATO)

Spatial pixels unbinned for target – 18 m/pixel cross-track, up to ~3 m/pixel downtrack, requires special processing for increased resolution; half swath length as above

Along-track undersampled (ATU)

Spatial pixels unbinned for target – 18 m/pixel cross-track, 36 m/pixel downtrack; half swath length as above

Atmospheric (hyperspectral)

Tracking as shown but only center of target measured

EPFs

Spatial pixels 10x binned (~200 m/pixel @ 300 km)

Lat./lon. grids every ~9° of Ls

Nadir-pointed
