Data included provides information on the observed spectra of atmospheric waves in difference chemical species in the Martian upper atmosphere, as well as the estimated thermal impacts of these waves. Locations, times, dates for the data are also provided.

Table_S1.csv contains the latitude, local time and solar longitudes of regions 1 – 8 and A – H used in the study. The latitudes are in degress (north positive), the local times are in hours (0 - 24 as a decimal) and the solar longitudes are in degrees.
Table_S2.csv contains the computed heating and cooling rates for each bin used in the study. Altitudes and local times correspond to the middle of each bin, as defined in the manuscript. The format is a comma separate variable file, with a 1 row header providing the information for each column and its units. The columns represent the year, month, mean altitude (km), mean local time (hours), estimated heating rate in K/sol, and estimated cooling rate in K/sol.
Folder wave_spectra contains the 144 observed wave spectra (vs apparent wavelength, as defined in the manuscript), that are used in the study. Each file name provides the year and month as YYYYMM, the altitude range in km (bottom _ top), the local time range in hours (start _ end), and the latitude range in degrees (southern edge _ northern edge) for each spectra. The files are in comma separated variable format, with a 1 row header providing the information for the data. The columns are for Apparent wavelength (km), CO2-N2 amplitude ratio (dimensionless), CO2-N2 angle difference (degrees), CO2-O amplitude ratio (dimensionless), CO2-O angle difference (degrees), Density amplitude (%), and Temperature amplitude (K). Each row corresponds to a different apparent wavelength bin, where the center of the bin is the value given.
