Mars Science Laboratory diurnal moisture observations and column simulations

Hourly observations of air temperature and relative humidity at 1.6 m height from the surface (T 1.6 m, RH 1.6 m) measured by the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Rover Environmental Monitoring Station relative humidity (REMS‐H) device are shown for MSL solar days 15–17 and 80–82, augmented with column...

Description
Summary:Hourly observations of air temperature and relative humidity at 1.6 m height from the surface (T 1.6 m, RH 1.6 m) measured by the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Rover Environmental Monitoring Station relative humidity (REMS‐H) device are shown for MSL solar days 15–17 and 80–82, augmented with column model simulations. The diurnal range of T 1.6 m was 197–268 K in the first period, RH 1.6 m being small (
