Introduction:
The Thermal Emission Spectrometer (Tes) Onboard The Mars Global Surveyor (Mgs) Was A Thermal Infrared Spectrometer (6-50 Μm) With Additional
Broadband Infrared (5-100 Μm) And Visible (0.3-3.0
Μm) Wavelength Bolometers (Christensen Et Al.,
1992; 2001). Beginning In March 1999, The Mgs
Tes Operated Nearly Continuously For Almost Three
Martian Years (My) Serving As The Primary Source
