The Mars Phoenix MET Pressure Sensor - Data Quality and Scientific Results
Abstract
Meteorological conditions on the landing site of the Mars Phoenix lander were monitored with the MET experiment, provided by Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The MET experiment included a pressure sensor provided by Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) The aim of this study is to find out the error sources of the Phoenix pressure sensor and to estimate their impact on the science data. Also the technical implementation of the sensor and the first scientific results are introduced.
