NAME Lunar Topography and Photometric Cube Data V1.0
TYPE Document
DESCRIPTION This package contains topography and photometric data generated by the GaskellStereophotoclinometry (SPC) software suite. It focuses on six regions on the Moon.These include wrinkle ridges at Dorsa Aldrovandi, two locations of the lunar swirlwithin Mare Ingenii, Karpinskiy crater, a swirl within Mare Moscoviense, ReinerGamma, and Tsiolkovskiy crater. We generated regional Digital Terrain Models (DTM),each about 50 to 100 square kilometers, using Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) images from both the right and left cameras. Depending onthe location, each vertex of the topography represents heights every 5 to 0.7 meters,with an uncertainty of about one to two vertices. The topography data is provided inboth cubes readable by the USGS ISIS program, and as a geoTIFF which can be read byprograms such as ArcGIS. We generated photometric data (in cube format) that isaligned to, and has the same horizontal spacing as, the topographic cube data. Foreach LROC image, four cubes were generated; I/F (reflectance), Local Phase Angle,Local Emission Angle, and Local Incidence Angle. Each cube pixel represents the valueat each vertex of the DTM.
