Mars Express Planetary Fourier Spectrometer spectra: dataset

RecordingESA PSA terms (acknowledge the PI and the PSA)Orbit from January 2004; detection reported 2004Copy of Mars Express Planetary Fourier Spectrometer spectra
Not kept here. This copy isn't ours to show. See it where it's published.

Thousands of averaged nadir spectra; the 2004 global mean of about 10 ppbv and the 2013 detection east of Gale both come from averaging many low-signal spectra.
