ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We acknowledge support for work conducted on the development of the Mars Climate Database from the European Space Agency (under ESTEC contract 11369/95/NL/JG(SC)) and from CNES. CNRS (LMD group), the IAA and the UK Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (AOPP, Oxford group) also provided support during the development of the Martian General Circulation Models.

The Web interface is based on the Live Access Software developped at NOAA.

GENERAL INFORMATIONS

The online interactive Mars Climate Database is intented for moderate use only; Engineers and scientists planning to use the database for intensive or precise work should use the DVD-ROM version of the Mars Climate Database. The DVD-ROM, which we make freely available, contains all the datafiles (in netcdf format) along with access software (written in Fortran; Matlab and IDL interfaces are also included).
