  1. You cannot do a spectrum from a monochrome image. Overlay the spectral index map over the TRDR data. Then select the TRDR data on the ENVI vertical toolbar and then you can see the spectra for bright areas in the spectral index map,  if you move the cursor the the bright pixels in the spectral index map.

  2. The best data set to use is the MTRDR, if this product exists for your scene. Next best is the TER, which you can map project using CAT, again if it exists for your scene. Next is the TRDR data set. You have the correct descriptions.

  3. Hi: If you use the data that have IF in their label then no need to convert from radiance to IF. This has already been done for you. The files with RAD in their names do need to be converted. Use the IF files, please. When we developed the archives we wanted to supply an IF file and a RAD file for a given scene. The IF file has been converted from radiance to I/F and denoised. The RAD files have just been converted from raw data to radiance values. Please read the Software Interface Specification Document (https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/mro/mro-m-crism-2-edr-v1/mrocr_0001/document/crism_dpsis.pdf) for details.

  4. Hi There: I am the Geosciences Node Manager and also a CRISM Science Team Member. I can answer your questions. I/F is defined as the radiance on sensor divided by the solar radiance at the top of the atmosphere that would have occurred during the observation. The TRDRs are presented with these units. It is a form of reflectance but one that has the atmosphere and surface terms included. The Viviano-Beck spectral parameters operate on these data sets. They do not operate on he MTRDRs, which have been processed to remove atmospheric effects and normalized to surface reflectance, with S and L bands joined. This document explains the processing and is a must for reading if you wish to use CRISM data: https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/mro/mro-m-crism-2-edr-v1/mrocr_0001/document/crism_dpsis.pdf

  5. Hi Maeve: I would be happy to help out. In the past something like a one hour zoom session worked to get other users familiar enough with CRISM data to get them up and running on analysis. Let me know if this would be a good approach and when you might be available next week.

  6. Maeve: You are downloading CAT from our Geosciences Node site? Try incorporating it into ENVI 5.5.3 or 5.6, not the Classic version. If you need help let me know. We can then go from there. Tryi using our PDS Mars Orbital Data Explorer to find and download some MTRDR files.  I can help you get started on how to use the data once you get CAT working with ENVI.

  7. Hi Maeve: ENVI is the main way that researchers process CRISM data, including mapping mineral parameter maps. Do you have access to ENVI? And do you know which CRISM scenes you would like to use? I can tutor you through using ENVI and CRISM data, but first let me know if you have access to ENVI software.

  8. DISORT is a generally applicable radiative transfer program and is available over the internet. We use a front end that is Mars specific. It is incredibly complicated and not meant for distribution. May I suggest that unless you wish to do Hapke-related nonlinear modeling of mineral grain sizes and phases you just stick to what CAT offers. Except for our group very few researchers try and use DISORT in their CRISM data analysis.

  9. Rochdi: I am not sure what you are asking. CAT has spectral parameters for IR data. Use this function. I am not trying to be judgmental. However, I suggest that you need to read in detail the Viviano-Beck paper that was sent to you and that you become very familiar with CAT and its functions. Many of your queries would have been answered if you had done this homework in detail.

  10. Result is one monochrome image. Do your band math in sensor space, use CAT to flatten the result, and then project. Results will have to be your task. I do not know where the pyroxene is located.
