In this paper, three datasets are described. The first dataset is a complete set of GNSS-R (GNSS-R: Global Navigation Satellite System - Reflectometry) airborne data. This dataset has been generated with the data acquired with the GLObal Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry Instrument (GLORI) developed at Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère (CESBIO), during the Land surface Interactions with the Atmosphere over the Iberian Semi-arid Environment (LIAISE) campaign in north-eastern Spain during the summer of 2021.

Passive limb observations of thermal radiation at submillimeter wavelengths in the 320-350-GHz range by use of a state-of-the-art satellite receiver on a low Mars orbit allow important parameters such as the mixing ratios of H2O, HDO, 12CO, 13CO, O3, and H2O2 as well as the thermal profile to be retrieved with high precision and unprecedented vertical range and resolution, providing valuable information for better understanding of the planet's water cycle, atmospheric dynamics, and photochemistry. The feasibility of these kinds of measurement is demonstrated by means of model simulations based on realistic atmospheric, spectroscopic, and instrumental parameters.
