Bundle Information
IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:mro_sharad_3d::3.0
NAME Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter SHARAD 3D Radargram Bundle
TYPE Archive
DESCRIPTION This bundle contains three-dimensional (3D) volumes of radar sounding data for Mars collected by the SHARAD instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Each such 3D radargram consists of an amalgamation of data collected over many SHARAD tracks crossing a given projected area. Each 3D radargram contains values of the radar backscatter power, strength, or amplitude arranged in an array with either time delay or depth on the fastest varying (Z) axis, the projection X coordinate on the slowest varying axis, and the projection Y coordinate on the intermediately varying axis. The label file for each 3D radargram contains information about the axes sampling intervals, projections, and data scaling.
