The Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) successfully began the science phase on 23rd of May 2021 to explore the dynamics of the Martian atmosphere on a global scale. The Emirates Mars Infrared Spectrometer (EMIRS) instrument, one of three instruments onboard EMM, is an interferometric thermal infrared spectrometer developed by Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) and Arizona State University (ASU). The EMIRS instrument collects spectral data from 6-100+ µm at 5 and 10 cm-1 spectral sampling, which is enabled by a Chemical Vapor-Deposited (CVD) diamond beam splitter and digital interferometer control electronics. The EMIRS instrument is designed to characterize the geographic, seasonal, and diurnal variability of key characteristics of the red planet such as atmospheric dust and water ice optical depth, water vapor abundance, surface temperature, and atmospheric temperature profiles on sub-seasonal timescales. EMIRS observations provide full local solar time coverage at multiple emission angles providing data on these constituents over the entire Martian disk. Here, we present initial results of the spatial and seasonal variation of dust and lower atmospheric temperatures on a global scale. These new observations will enhance our understanding of the dust cycle on Mars and how dust influences the current climate and atmospheric dynamics on Mars. These results also will aid in understanding the relationship between the upper and lower atmosphere, while also enhancing the accuracy of models of the Martian atmosphere.
