DATA_SET_DESC = " Dataset overview ================ This accumulating data set includes Ceres global mosaics and quadrangles derived from images acquired by the Framing Camera 2 (FC2) on the NASA Dawn spacecraft. Global mosaics are provided in cylindrical and polar stereographic projections. The quadrangle mosaics use Mercator (equatorial), Lambert conformal (mid-latitude) and stereographic projections. Global color filter mosaics are provided for data acquired during the high altitude mapping orbit (HAMO) on volume DWNCHFFC2_2. Global mapping in all filters at low altitude was not possible due to time and downlink limitations. Attempts were made to acquire color imaging of selected Ceres targets but with only limited success because of issues related to ephemeris predictability. Clear filter global mosaics and quadrangle maps are provided for both HAMO (DWNCHCFC2_2) and the low altitude mapping orbit (LAMO, DWNCLCFC2_2) science phases. Dawn mission is equipped with two identical framing cameras (FC1 & FC2) [SIERKSETAL2011] which have one clear filter and seven band pass filters. At Ceres, only the FC2 was used to acquire science images while the FC1 was held in reserve. Clear filter images which were taken during HAMO were used to produce a global mosaic of the illuminated part of Ceres with a resolution of ~140m/pixel [ROATSCHETAL2016]. Dawn orbited Ceres during in 6 cycles between August 16 and October 23, 2015 at the HAMO altitude of ~1475 km. A cycle is a single complete mapping of surface at a fixed attitude (nadir or off-nadir). The framing camera acquired about 2490 clear filter images [ROATSCHETAL2016] during the HAMO phase. Images were acquired with different viewing angles and illumination conditions in order to provide input to the stereo- photogrammetric [PREUSKERETAL2016] and stereo-photoclinometric analysis of the Ceres topography. DWNCHCFC2_2 contains mosaics built using 386 images from HAMO cycle 1 with minor gaps filled with images from cycle 2. Color images were acquired during HAMO in Cycles one (nadir) and five (near nadir). Due to data storage and downlink limitations, only four of the seven filters were acquired pole-to-pole in the color imaging cycles [POLANSKEYETAL2016] in addition to the clear filter (1). The remaining three filters were acquired in only the best illuminated regions between +/- 70 deg latitude in Cycle 1 and from the north pole to 70 deg South in Cycle 5. Cycle 1 pole-to-pole filters were filters 2 (555 nm), 3 (749 nm), and 7 (653 nm) and Cycle 5 acquired filters 2, 3, and 5 (965 nm). The mosaics for filters 4, 6, and 8 have unfilled regions in near the south pole. In LAMO (low altitude mapping orbit), only clear filter images were acquired for the the first ~4 nadir mapping cycles (there were eight orbits of nadir images acquired while the LAMO ephemeris was being update - ''Cycle 0''). Later in LAMO, clear filter images were acquired at various off-nadir angles. Color imaging was limited to a few selected targets during off-nadir cycles because of time, data storage, downlink, and image smear limitations [POLANSKEYETAL2016]. At low Ceres altitude the combination of long exposures times and rapid Dawn motion relative to Ceres made smearing a significant concern for the various color filters while the clear filter smear was sub-pixel. No global or quadrangle mosaics can be created from the limited number of LAMO color images. LAMO clear filter global mosaics and quadrangle maps can be found on the DWNCHCFC2_2 archive volume. For more information on the contents and organization of the volume set refer to the AAREADME.TXT file located in the root directory of the data volumes. A description of the map projections used in this data sets is provided in the DSMAP.CAT file in the catalog directory of this archive volume. Processing ========== The image data returned from the spacecraft are distributed inside the Dawn team in PDS (Planetary Data System) format [http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov]. The first step of the image processing pipeline is the conversion to VICAR (Video Image Communication and Retrieval) format [http://rushmore.jpl.nasa.gov/vicar.html] followed by the radiometric (clear) and photometric (filter) calibration of the images [SCHROEDERETAL2013A, SCHROEDERETAL2014]. Ceres images are processed using the same calibration as the Vesta images as described in the references above. Calibration files (flats, stray light patterns) described in those references are included on the Vesta HAMO mosaic volume DWNVFC2_2. The next step towards the cartographic products is to ortho-rectify the images to the proper scale and map projection type. This process requires detailed information of the Dawn orbit and attitude data and of the topography of the targets. Both improved orientation and a high-resolution shape model are provided by stereo processing (bundle block adjustment) of the HAMO stereo image dataset [PREUSKERETAL2016], Ceres' shape model is used for the calculation of the ray intersection points, while the map projection itself is placed onto a reference sphere of Ceres with a mean radius of 470 km. The phase angle changed from about 10 degrees near the equator to 90 degrees at the poles. The mean brightness value of each point for every phase angle was derived and used to calculate a phase angle dependent brightness function. This function was applied to all clear filter images to minimize the brightness changes between the images at different latitudes. Color filter mosaicking required full photometric calibration of the individual images. The final step was the mosaicking of all images to a global mosaic of Ceres, the so-called basemap. The longitude system of Ceres is defined by the tiny crater Kait [ROATSCHETAL2016], the pole axis and the rotation rate were calculated during the bundle block adjustment [PREUSKERETAL2016]. At the time that the HAMO atlas was generated, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) had approved 81 names for geological features. By international agreement, craters must be named after gods and goddesses of agriculture and vegetation from world mythology, whereas other geological features must be named after agricultural festivals of the world. The nomenclature proposed by the Dawn team was approved by the IAU [http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/]. For more detailed information on the image calibration process, please refer to [SCHROEDERETAL2013A] and [SCHROEDERETAL2014]. All Ceres mosaic data volumes: =============================== File Naming Convention: CE_PHASE_M_LATx_LONx_PRO_FILTx.IMG CE is literal, Ceres; PHASE is either HAMO or LAMO T is the mosaic type where G = global, Q = quadrangle; LATx is the center latitude of the mosaic; LONx is the center longitude of the mosaic; PRO is the projection identifier: EQU is equidistant cylindrical projection, STE is stereographic projection, MER is Mercator projection, and LAM is Lambert conformal projection; FILTx is either the filter identifier (FILT2 = F2) or CLR for clear filter mosaics. When FILT1 is used, it indicates full photometric calibration of the clear filter. All of the archive data files are found in the DATA directory of the PDS archive volumes. Data are stored in PDS image format (.IMG) with attached PDS3 labels. In addition to the archive mosaics, browse versions are provided in JPEG format (.JPG) in the BROWSE directory and in TIFF format (.TIF)in the EXTRAS directory. Atlas products, when available, are provided in PDF/A format and located in the /DOCUMENT/QUADRANGLE_DESCR directory. DWNCHCFC2_2 Data Products ========================= The Ceres HAMO clear filter mosaics archive includes three global mosaics and quadrangle mosaics consisting of 15 map tiles with a resolution of ~140 m/pixel. The tiling scheme conforms to those proposed by Greeley and Batson [GREELEY&BASTON1990] for medium-sized planetary bodies and high-resolution imaging. A map scale of about 1:750,000 guarantees a mapping at the highest available Dawn FC HAMO resolution and results in an acceptable printing scale for the hardcopy map of 5 pixel/mm. For the atlas (/DOCUMENT/QUADRANGLE_DESCR), the individual tiles were extracted from the global mosaic and reprojected, coordinate grids were superposed as graphic vectors and the resulting composites were converted to the common PDF/A-format. The equatorial part of the map (22S to 22N latitude) is in Mercator projection onto a secant cylinder using standard parallels at 13S and 13N latitude. The regions between the equator region and the poles (66S to 21S and 21N to 66N latitude) are in Lambert's conic conformal projection with two standard parallels at 30N and 58N (or 30S and 58S, respectively). The poles are in stereographic projection (90S to 65S latitude and 65N to 90N latitude). Individual tiles overlap in the North-South direction by one degree, however no overlapping region is present in the East-West direction. The map tiles have a true scale of 1:750,000 at the standard parallels and have the same scaling factors in the overlapping regions at the matching parallels +/-21.34 deg and +/-65.19 deg latitude, 1.0461 and 1.0484 respectively [SNYDER1987]. The longitudinal extension of the map tiles are for those in Mercator projection is 72 deg, 90 deg for those in Lambert's projection, and for the polar caps 360 deg. Using this tiling scheme for Ceres with a high-resolution mosaic, the printed map tiles have a size of 125 cm in width by 90 cm in height.

DWNCHFFC2_2 Data Products ========================= This archive volume contains single filter global Ceres mosaics in in equidistant cylindrical projection and hemispheric polar stereographic projections. Mosaics cover nearly the complete Ceres surface for filters 1,2,3,5, and 7, while filters 4,6, and 8 have no data south of about 70 deg South latitude.

DWNCLCFC2_2 Data Products ========================= The Ceres LAMO mosaics also consists of 15 map tiles with a resolution of ~35 m/pixel and a scale of ~234.4 pixels/degree. Like HAMO, the tiling scheme conforms to those proposed by Greeley and Batson [GREELEY&BASTON1990]. The equatorial part of the map (22S to 22N latitude) is in Mercator projection onto a secant cylinder using standard parallels at 13S and 13N latitude. The regions between the equator region and the poles (66S to 21S and 21N to 66N latitude) are in Lambert's conic conformal projection with two standard parallels at 30N and 58N (or 30S and 58S, respectively). The poles are in stereographic projection (90S to 65S latitude and 65N to 90N latitude). Individual tiles overlap in the North-South direction by one degree, however no overlapping region is present in the East-West direction. The mosaic tiles have a true scale of 1:187,500 at the standard parallels and have the same scaling factors in the overlapping regions at the matching parallels +/-21.34 deg and +/-65.19 deg latitude, 1.0461 and 1.0484 respectively [SNYDER1987]. The longitudinal extension of the mosaic tiles are for those in Mercator projection 72 deg, 90 deg for those in Lambert's projection, and for the polar caps 360 deg. Quadrangles of this size and scale are too large to readily print. When a LAMO atlas is produced, the map will be split into many more tiles (62 are planned) to support full resolution printing and cartographic labeling.
