Studying the Martian atmosphere using near-infrared imaging spectrometer data from a European orbiter

I analyze the Martian lower atmosphere conditions from OMEGA observation data, which is a near-infrared imaging spectrometer onboard the Mars Express. In collaboration with a French research team, I developed a system to estimate the dust optical depth, dust vertical distribution, and surface pressure on Mars. This contributes to understanding Martian meteorological phenomena. The system is also expected to be used in future Mars missions, including the upcoming MMX mission.
