Wind retrieval from temperature measurements from the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station/Mars Science Laboratory

Highlights A novel wind speed retrieval based on REMS temperature data for Mars is proposed. Potential extension of REMS WS 5-min averaged wind speed data beyond MSL sol 1491. Agreement with REMS WS speeds between 36% and 77% of the time for 18:00 - 21:00 LMST. New MSL rover optimal orientation for...

Sumario:Highlights A novel wind speed retrieval based on REMS temperature data for Mars is proposed. Potential extension of REMS WS 5-min averaged wind speed data beyond MSL sol 1491. Agreement with REMS WS speeds between 36% and 77% of the time for 18:00 - 21:00 LMST. New MSL rover optimal orientation for wind speed retrievals: +60°clockwise (RNAV). Retrieval method applicable to the future payloads of ESA and NASA missions.
