| Data Set Abstract |
High resolution radar map compiled from measurements made between
1981 and 1984 with the 70 cm wavelength radar at Arecibo
Observatory. The data have resolutions ranging from 2 to 5
kilometers. The pixel spacing is 0.1 degrees in latitude and
longitude. The point at line 1000 and sample 1000 corresponds to
0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude. The pixel values are
scaled to represent 20 * log10 (backscattered power). Observed
power has been corrected for antenna beam, scattering area and
scattering law. Observed power of 1000, which is the lunar
average, thus has a value of 60 in the data set. Radar was
transmitted in left-hand circular polarization, and both
right-hand circular polarization (i.e. polarized) and left-hand
circular polarization (i.e. depolarized) echoes were received. |
