This page gives you access to the data collected and generated by the RoadMap project
Collected Data
NOMAD / ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter
Information on how to get the NOMAD data from the PSA server can be found here. More information on the NOMAD instrument is found on the official website of the insturument.
SPICAM / Mars Express
All spectra recorded by the SPICAM instrument are available on the PSA website.
GEM-Mars Global Circulation Model
The description of the model and its results can be found on the Model official page.
The GEM-Mars data can also be directly accessed through a link following this pattern:
https://gem-mars.aeronomie.be/vespa-gem?myear=[34,35]&lat=[-90, 90]&lon=[-180,180]&ls=[0, 360]&lst=[0,24]
where myear (Mars Year) can be 34 or 35, lat (latitude) is one value between -90 and 90, lon (longitude) is one value between -180 and 180, ls (solar longitude or time of year) is a value between 0 and 360, and lst (local solar time) is a value between 0 and 24.
For example, the following link provides a VOTable containing the profile for MY 34, at the equator, longitude 0, Ls = 90, at noon:
https://gem-mars.aeronomie.be/vespa-gem?myear=34&lat=0&lon=0&ls=90&lst=12
Hexahedral particle models
The TAMUdust2020 is a comprehensive, flexible, and user-friendly database for optical properties of dust aerosol and volcanic ash particles. Various ensembles of 20 irregular hexahedral particle models are applied in this database. The database consists of source codes (.f90) and data kernels, which are available from:
- TAMUdust2020 Version 1.0.0: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4711247.
- The latest version of the TAMUdust2020 source codes:https://github.com/masasaito/TAMUdust2020.

VESPA: Virtual European Solar and Planetary Access
All data generated by the project relative to the atmosphere of Mars have been uploaded on the VESPA Virtual Observatory.
The NOMAD datasets described in Piccialli et al, (2022), Aoki et al, (2022) and Trompet et al, (2022) are accessible through the VESPA portal since August 2022. There are 7400 vertical profiles of ozone, water and carbon dioxide density as well as temperature.
