Dataset of the CO/CO2 ratio retrieved from solar occultation by TGO/NOMAD, presented in Yoshida et al., 2022

The CO/CO2 ratio in MY 35 retrieved from solar occultation observations by Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery (NOMAD) onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), presented in Yoshida et al., 2022.

The dataset contains the CO/CO2 ratio at tangential altitude retrieved from the Solar Occultation channel of NOMAD.

The dataset is separated into one text file per solar occultation. Version 2 corrects an error in the latitude/longitude/Ls/local time values in the header of each file; plus some files in version 1 did not contain any data, so these have been removed from version 2.
