The IAA/CSIC team acknowledges financial support from the State Agency for Research of the Spanish MCIU through the ‘Center of Excellence Severo Ochoa’ award for the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (SEV-2017-0709) and funding by grant PGC2018-101836-B-100 (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, EU). F.G.G. is funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, the Agencia Estatal de Investigación and EC FEDER funds under project RTI2018-100920-J-I00. ExoMars is a space mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos. The NOMAD experiment is led by the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (IASB-BIRA), assisted by Co-PI teams from Spain (IAA-CSIC), Italy (INAF-IAPS), and the United Kingdom (Open University). This project acknowledges funding by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO), with the financial and contractual coordination by the ESA Prodex Office (PEA 4000103401, 4000121493) as well as by UK Space Agency through grants ST/V002295/1, ST/V005332/1 and ST/S00145X/1 and Italian Space Agency through grant 2018-2-HH.0. Adrian Brines acknowledges grant PRE2019-088355 funded by MCIN/AEI/ 10.13039/501100011033 and, as appropriate, by “ESF Investing in your future” or by “European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR”. BF also acknowledges support by project PID2019-110689RB-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.

Dataset associated to manuscript 2022JE007278, "Martian atmospheric temperature and density profiles during the 1st year of NOMAD/TGO solar occultation measurements", submitted on Feb 28th, 2022, to Journal of Geophysical Research - Planets (AGU) for the Special Issue "ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter: One Martian Year of Science". Format and Number of datafiles: 1 README.txt and 1 tar file containing 325 ASCII files, one for each retrieved NOMAD scan. Each of these files contains one vertical profile of 7 parameters: altitude (km), Temperature in the last iteration (K), atmospheric pressure (mb), Temperature of First Guess (K), pressure of First Guess (mb), Temperature retrieval error (K) and diagonal element fo the Averaging Kernel matrix at that tangent altitude (normalized to 0-1). Also, the header of each file contains extra info, like the NOMAD "internal" data filename, and the ranges in latitude, longitude, Local time, Solar Longitude, tangent heights observed, and Line-of-Sight shift needed to obtain a good fit, together with the number of altitudes in the retrieval vector (usually around 100 km). See README file for more details.
