Longer description:
The database provides model outputs carefully validated with the available observations for any location and time on Mars (up to 250km): Temperature,
winds, density, pressure, water vapor and ice, dust, Ozone, upper atmosphere composition (O, CO, CO2, Ar, N2, etc...), radiative fluxes.
Mostly model outputs validated with Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Express Observations. Dust opacity directly derived from MGS TES observations.

Processing level:
Model outputs

Status (static or active ?):
The database is regularly improved and updated. The current database version is 4.1 (fall 2005)
