| Data Set Abstract |
Abstract ======== The Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) consists
of two cameras, a Wide Angle Camera (WAC) and a Narrow Angle
Camera (NAC), mounted on a common pivot platform. This dataset
includes the Multispectral Reduced Data Records for the WAC. The
Map Projected Multispectral RDR (MDR) data set consists of a
global color map of I/F in the 8 filters used for multispectral
mapping during the primary mission, photometrically normalized to
a solar incidence angle (i) = 30 degrees, emission angle (e) = 0
degrees, and phase angle (g) = 30 degrees at a spatial sampling
of 64 pixels per degree. The map is divided into 54 segments or
'tiles', each representing the NW, NE, SW, or SE
quadrant of one of the 13 non-polar or one of the 2 polar
quadrangles or 'Mercury charts' already defined by the
USGS. Each tile is composed of 8 bands corresponding to 8 of the
11 WAC filters. Each tile also contains backplanes describing
ancillary information. The subset of 8 of 11 available
multispectral filters was selected on account of limitations in
MESSENGER solid-state recorder space, and more or less evenly
samples the spectral range of MDIS. |
