Introduction: The Emirates Exploration Imager
(Exi) Is A Camera System Onboard The Emirates Mars
Mission (Emm), Which Went Into Orbit Around Mars
On February 9, 2021. The Goal Of Emm Is To Explore
The Dynamics Of The Martian Atmosphere Across Diurnal And Seasonal Timescales (E.G., Amiri Et Al., 2022).
A Particular Focus Of The Mission Is The Circulation Of
The Lower Atmosphere And The Connections To The Upward Transport Of Energy Of The Escaping Atmospheric
Particles From The Upper Atmosphere. Exi Is One Of
Three Complementary Scientific Instruments Chosen To
Accomplish This Goal (E.G., Almatroushi Et Al., 2021).
The Instruments And Their Specific Goals Have Been Described In Detail Elsewhere (Emirates Mars Infrared
Spectrometer (Emirs) - Edwards Et Al, 2021; Emirates Mars Ultraviolet Spectrometer (Emus) –
Holsclaw Et Al, 2021; Exi - Jones Et Al., 2021). In This
Presentation, We Will Provide A Very Brief Overview Of
