Abstract:

The Mars Dust Storm Sequence Dataset (MDSSD) contains information on dust storm instances and dust storm sequences manually identified in the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Mars Color Imager (MARCI) Mars Daily Global Maps (https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/U3766S). The information includes the position of dust storm instance at pixel level, timing, storm ID, sequence ID (when applicable), and confidence level. Currently, the dataset covers selected time periods during Mars year 28 to 34. In time order, the MARCI phases covered are "P", "B", "G", "D", "F", "J", and "K". The MDSSD was originally documented and analyzed in Wang et al. [2023] to investigate the characteristics and annual cycle of Martian dust storms. Please refer to that paper for details. Updates are made as they become available. The appendix and readme files provide additional information. This release contains bug fixes for previous versions and a few new sub-phases for "P". This dataset is provided without any guarantee for accuracy or completeness.
