MSL YEAR 2 AUTUMN WEATHER RECORD (LS 0 TO 90)
This page updated on 1/25/2018.
On Table 1 column subjects and color codings are as follows:
| Column A (Sol). The Martian day is about 39 minutes longer than the terrestrial day. Column B is solar longitude (Ls). MSL is in the Southern Hemisphere on Mars. The landing was at Ls 150 in winter. Ls 180 begins the spring there. Ls 270 starts summer, Ls 0 starts the fall. Ls 90 starts the winter. Column C shows the pressure reported by the REMS Team. Column D shows the date on Earth. Column E shows the maximum air temperature. With respect to the freezing point, from 0° C at 1 atm pressure it will increase up to 0.01° C at 0.006 atm (which is about the average pressure on Mars as given by NASA). This is the triple point of water. At pressures below this, water will never be liquid. It will change directly between solid and gas phase (sublimation). The temperature for this phase change, the sublimation point, will decrease as the pressure is further decreased Column F shows minimum air temperature. Column G shows the air temperature range for each sol. On Earth temperatures can vary by 40 °C in deserts. In column G where the range is 59 °C or less yellow background coloring points that out. The National Park Service claims the world record in a diurnal temperature variation is 102 °F (57 °C) (from 46 °F (8 °C) to −56 °F (−49 °C)) in Browning, Montana (elevation 4,377 feet/1,334 meters) on January 23 to 24, 1916. There were 2 days in Montana where the temperature changed by 57 °C. | Column H shows temperature range divided by 40. This allows us to compare terrestrial deserts with Gale Crater, Mars. How much cooling occurs at night is related to the density of the atmosphere. Here we see the ratio of cooling on a Mars sol to the typical 40 °C cooling figure for Earth's deserts shown with a green background when that ratio is under 1.5. For MSY Year 1 when we altered the devisor from 40 °C to 57 °C then 88 of the ratios were altered to 1 or less than 1, meaning that Martian air pressure is indeed likely much higher than NASA claims. Column I shows maximum ground temperature. As with terrestrial deserts, the ground on Mars heats more during the day than the air does, and it cools more at night than the air does. In Column K when the maximum ground temperature is given by REMS is above 0°C it is shown with a red background. Column J shows the minimum ground temperature. When it is -90 °C or colder the background is in purple. The ground temperatures are not very precise. The requirement was to measure ground brightness temperature over the range from 150 to 300 K with a resolution of 2 K and an accuracy of 10 K. Column K. Drop in ground temperature from day to night. Column L shows the increase in temperature from the mast 1.5 meters above the ground down to the ground during the daylight hours. In column N anytime there is an increase in temperature of 11 °C or more this in indicated with a dark blue background.
| Column M shows the decrease in temperature from the ground to the air at nights. If the data were valid we would expect similar heating or cooling to occur over the set distance from ground to boom. A quick survey of the data immediately shows that this was not found. In column L we see a variation in heating between 0 °C and at least 15 °C with a 54 °C anomaly on Sol 1,070. For nighttime cooling any variation from 11°C to 19°C is shown with a medium blue background. More than that is shown with a dark blue background. Column N shows the pressure for the same Ls in MSL Year 1. Column O shows the absolute value of the change in pressure in Pascals from the same Ls in the previous year (Column [M] - [C]). Column P shows the original pressure for the same Ls in MSL Year 1 before JPL revised their data. Column Q shows the Ls during Year 1. Column R shows the UV for the sol in Year 2. Column S shows the UV for the sol in Year 1. All sols in MSL Year 1 and Year 2 have opacity listed as “sunny” which seems dubious. Column T shows comments, if any.

Note: Data in columns N. O, P and S is off by one Sol/row and is in the process of being repaired.

Figure 1 above. On October 3, 2015 JPL made the revisions to Sol 1,119 that we predicted a day earlier on October 2, 2015. Figure 2 below: On October 31, 2015 JPL made the revisions to Sol 1,145 that we predicted on October 28, 2015.
Figure 3: We predicted that JPL would alter the pressure data for sols 1160 and 1161 because the 1,117 Pa and 1,200 Pa mean pressures were above the 1,150 Pa rated ability of the Vaisala pressure sensor to measure for MSL. However, the predicted retreat has not yet occurred as of January 11, 2016 – probably because they saw that we were publishing their response with predictions on our tables and print-screens to back up our assertions. What is particularly odd about the 1,177 Pa pressure on Sol 1160 is that the REMS team had previously published a pressure of 857 Pa for that date. That was in line with previous pressures, yet for some reason they chose to go off script and off chart to raise the pressure in this bizarre manner (to a pressure higher than any previous accepted pressure measurement on Mars). Then they went higher still for the next sol (to 1,200 Pa/12 mbar) before falling right back into their old pattern at 857 Pa for Sol 1162. We think this may point to personnel issues which could conceivably relate to our ongoing audit of all their data.
Figure 4 - On January 21, 2016 NASA finally caved and, as we predicted, took down the 1,177 and 1,200 record pressures for MSL Sols 1160 and 1161. There was an extensive review of our weather spreadsheets by IP adress 161.111.124.7 from Consejo Superior de Investigaciones, Madrid, Spain on 1/20/2016 - the day before the pressues were dropped for Sols 1160 and 1161. These people manage Centro de Astrobiología which is where the REMS Team puts out the weather data for MSL.
