Data Set Abstract This data set contains the Magellan Topography Model of Venus and was produced by a spherical harmonic analysis of the most complete set of Magellan altimetry data, augmented by Pioneer Venus and Venera data. A detailed report on this harmonic analysis and its scientific implications is in [RAPPAPORT&PLAUT1994].
