ISSI Bern > International Teams > A Multi-Mission Approach to Close…

Schedule

June 2023 – September 2023 Compile database of contemporaneous MAVEN and TGO instrument observations and sort according to atmospheric parameter (temperature, density, composition), altitude, location and time.

 
October 2023 – January 2024 Establish scaling factors and offsets between instruments on the same orbiter (e.g. MAVEN NGIMS versus MAVEN IUVS).

 
February 2024:

Bern Meeting #1
  1. Compare the MAVEN EUVM and TGO solar occultations.
  2. Analyze and interpret offsets between the inter-mission solar occultations measurements found in #1.
  3. Analyze the database of contemporaneous observations and determine periods and regions of focus. Establish analysis priorities.
  4. Present and discuss scaling factors and offsets found between instruments on same orbiter.
  5. Form cross-mission, cross-disciplinary working groups to focus on areas of specialization (mesopause, thermosphere, tides, etc.)

 
March 2024 – June 2024 Compile additional data for focus periods (dust conditions, solar cycle, etc.). Establish scaling factors between MAVEN EUVM and TGO.

 
July 2024 – August 2024 Establish uniform scaling between TGO and MAVEN. Working groups prepare detailed tasks for Bern meeting.

 
September 2024:

Bern Meeting #2
  1. Merge data into composite dataset.
  2. Working groups analyze composite dataset focusing on area of interest, report preliminary findings to full team.
  3. Team determines science prioritization for publication.

 
October 2024 – December 2024 Formulate detailed outline for papers. Establish writing responsibilities.

 
January 2025 – May 2025 Write and submit papers of results

 
June 2025 Write and submit final report to ISSI
