Simulation of methane distribution and visualization in Mars atmosphere

Indian Mars mission will be carrying MSM (Methane Sensor for Mars) to map the methane sources and deriving concentration in Mars atmosphere by ppb accuracy. Simulations are planned using other Mars orbiter data like MGS etc. considering the specification of Indian MSM for visualization and understanding the data. This simulation is to be carried jointly with the help of Principal Investigator of MSM.
