CRISM NEXT GENERATION MARS GLOBAL MULTISPECTRAL MAP – HYDRATED MINERALOGY SPECTRAL PARAMETER MAPPING. F. P. Seelos 1 , S. F. A. Cartwright 1 , G. Romeo 1 , and S. L.

Introduction: The Compact Reconnaissance Im- aging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) [1] is a visible through short-wave infrared hyperspectral imaging spectrometer (VNIR S-detector: 364-1055 nm; IR L- detector: 1001-3936 nm; 6.55 nm sampling) that has been in operation on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) [2] since 2006. Over the course of the MRO mission CRISM has acquired over 320,000 individual mapping observation segments (mapping strips) with a variety of observing modes and data characteristics (VNIR/IR; ~100/200 m/pxl; multi-/hyper-spectral band selection – Table 1) over a wide range of observing conditions (atmospheric state, observation geometry, instrument state). With the retirement of the CRISM cryosystem in early 2018, the acquisition of IR (L- detector) data has been suspended with global IR map- ping coverage at ~87%. In addition, the primary CRISM mapping mosaic product suite that supports hydrated mineral mapping - Multispectral Reduced Data Record (MRDR) map tiles - sources the multi- spectral survey (MSP) and hyperspectral survey (HSP) data sets which are now closed. Map Tile Assembly: The MRDR data processing and tile assembly workflow is tasked with taking as input a set of MSP and HSP observations that intersect a given map tile area (Figure 1A), and producing as output spectral, parameter, and browse mosaic prod- ucts where the spatial/spectral structure is self- consistent across the mosaic and reflective of surface spectral characteristics rather than observation circum- stances (e.g. atmospheric optical depth, observation geometry) or instrument state (e.g. detector operating temperature) (Figure 1B). The two most significant challenges pertain to the marked increase in the promi- nence and complexity of instrument noise present in CRISM IR data acquired at elevated detector tempera- tures (observations acquired since mid-2009), and the limited availably of CRISM-derived atmospheric state information (sourced from CRISM EPF observations through late 2012). The noise remediation challenges unique to the CRISM IR mapping data are accommo- dated by a procedure adapted from the hyperspectral data filtering approach employed in the standard pro- cessing of CRISM targeted observations [3]. The cor- rection of the observed top-of-atmosphere (TOA) spec- tral radiance to atmospherically and photometrically corrected surface spectral reflectance takes one of two paths: a radiative transfer (RT) model based correction is applied to observations where high fidelity atmos- pheric state information is available, and empirical corrections are applied to observations where it is not. These alternate pathways necessitate an empirical mo- saic-wide radiometric optimization that serves to trans- form the empirically corrected TOA data to the RT- established radiometric framework [4]. Hydrated Mineral Spectral Parameter Map- ping: The utility of the expanded CRISM MRDR data processing and tile assembly for hydrated mineral mapping is illustrated in Figure 1 as a series of D2300 spectral parameter maps for CRISM map tile T1250 (which includes the Mars 2020 landing and field sites). The D2300 spectral parameter encodes the spectral drop-off at 2300 nm and highlights pixels where the spectral structure may be consistent with hydroxylated Fe/Mg-silicate and/or Mg-carbonate mineralogy [5]. The full T1250 tile extent is shown in Figure 1A and 1B, and a sub-area that includes Jezero Crater is shown in Figure 1C and 1D. The D2300 parameter map has been calculated from as-acquired apparent I/F data in Figure 1A and 1C, and from the noise-remediated, fully corrected, and radiometrically-reconciled surface spectral reflectance MRDR information in Figure 1B and 1D. The improved inter-observation parameter continuity can be seen in Figure 1A/1B, and the effects of the multispectral noise remediation can be seen in Figure 1C/1D. The MRDR workflow spectral information pro- vides for the calculation of parameter maps of suffi- cient quality and internal consistency to support GIS mapping efforts (Figure 1B, Figure 1D). Further spec- tral data processing and analysis of the assembled map projected spectral and parameter mosaic products are also possible, including supervised and unsupervised classification. This type of high-level processing and analysis of information derived from the constituent mapping observations comprising the tile mosaic would be impractical in the absence of the noise reme- diation and radiometric reconciliation that key the MRDR data processing workflow. In support of Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) considerations, the CRISM MRDR map tile data processing is being taken to scale with the goal of generating near-global maps of spectral parameters that are consistent with and/or indicative of various classes of hydrated mineralogy (Table 2).

Introduction: The Compact Reconnaissance Im-

aging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) [1] is a visible through short-wave infrared hyperspectral imaging spectrometer (VNIR S-detector: 364-1055 nm; IR L-detector: 1001-3936 nm; 6.55 nm sampling) that has been in operation on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) [2] since 2006. Over the course of the MRO mission CRISM has acquired over 320,000 individual mapping observation segments (mapping strips) with a variety of observing modes and data characteristics (VNIR/IR; ~100/200 m/pxl; multi-/hyper-spectral band selection – Table 1) over a wide range of observing conditions (atmospheric state, observation geometry, instrument state). With the retirement of the CRISM cryosystem in early 2018, the acquisition of IR (L-detector) data has been suspended with global IR map-ping coverage at ~87%. In addition, the primary CRISM mapping mosaic product suite that supports hydrated mineral mapping - Multispectral Reduced Data Record (MRDR) map tiles - sources the multi-spectral survey (MSP) and hyperspectral survey (HSP) data sets which are now closed.

Map Tile Assembly: The MRDR data processing and tile assembly workflow is tasked with taking as input a set of MSP and HSP observations that intersect a given map tile area (Figure 1A), and producing as output spectral, parameter, and browse mosaic prod-ucts where the spatial/spectral structure is self-consistent across the mosaic and reflective of surface spectral characteristics rather than observation circum-stances (e.g. atmospheric optical depth, observation geometry) or instrument state (e.g. detector operating temperature) (Figure 1B). The two most significant challenges pertain to the marked increase in the promi-nence and complexity of instrument noise present in CRISM IR data acquired at elevated detector tempera-tures (observations acquired since mid-2009), and the limited availably of CRISM-derived atmospheric state information (sourced from CRISM EPF observations through late 2012). The noise remediation challenges unique to the CRISM IR mapping data are accommo-dated by a procedure adapted from the hyperspectral data filtering approach employed in the standard pro-cessing of CRISM targeted observations [3]. The cor-rection of the observed top-of-atmosphere (TOA) spec-tral radiance to atmospherically and photometrically corrected surface spectral reflectance takes one of two paths: a radiative transfer (RT) model based correction is applied to observations where high fidelity atmos-pheric state information is available, and empirical corrections are applied to observations where it is not. These alternate pathways necessitate an empirical mo-

saic-wide radiometric optimization that serves to trans-form the empirically corrected TOA data to the RT- established radiometric framework [4].

Hydrated Mineral Spectral Parameter Map-ping: The utility of the expanded CRISM MRDR data processing and tile assembly for hydrated mineral mapping is illustrated in Figure 1 as a series of D2300 spectral parameter maps for CRISM map tile T1250 (which includes the Mars 2020 landing and field sites). The D2300 spectral parameter encodes the spectral drop-off at 2300 nm and highlights pixels where the spectral structure may be consistent with hydroxylated Fe/Mg-silicate and/or Mg-carbonate mineralogy [5]. The full T1250 tile extent is shown in Figure 1A and 1B, and a sub-area that includes Jezero Crater is shown in Figure 1C and 1D. The D2300 parameter map has been calculated from as-acquired apparent I/F data in Figure 1A and 1C, and from the noise-remediated, fully corrected, and radiometrically-reconciled surface spectral reflectance MRDR information in Figure 1B and 1D. The improved inter-observation parameter continuity can be seen in Figure 1A/1B, and the effects of the multispectral noise remediation can be seen in Figure 1C/1D.

The MRDR workflow spectral information pro-vides for the calculation of parameter maps of suffi-cient quality and internal consistency to support GIS mapping efforts (Figure 1B, Figure 1D). Further spec-tral data processing and analysis of the assembled map projected spectral and parameter mosaic products are also possible, including supervised and unsupervised classification. This type of high-level processing and analysis of information derived from the constituent mapping observations comprising the tile mosaic would be impractical in the absence of the noise reme-diation and radiometric reconciliation that key the MRDR data processing workflow.

In support of Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) considerations, the CRISM MRDR map tile data processing is being taken to scale with the goal of generating near-global maps of spectral parameters that are consistent with and/or indicative of various classes of hydrated mineralogy (Table 2). An overview of the updated MRDR data processing and tile assem-bly procedures as well as the status toward the global parameter mapping effort will be presented.
