the Fortran routine “call mcd” which now include a “high resolution mode”
via postprocessing of MCD data which combines high resolution MOLA
(32 pixels/degree) topography and atmospheric mass correction from Viking
Lander 1 pressure records. Examples of interfaces for users interested in
calling subroutine “call mcd” from C or C++ programs or IDL, Matlab and
Scilab softwares are also given.
Two seperate light tools, “pres0”, which yields high resolution surface
pressure and “heights”, which converts various vertical coordinates are also
provided.
For descriptions of the contents and structure of the datafiles, details on
the dust distribution scenarios, a description of the variability models, and
of the high resolution postprocessing, see the Detailed Design Document.
Comparisons of MCD outputs with available measurements are addressed in
the Validation Document.
