| Data Set Abstract |
Line of sight (LOS) gravity data were obtained as part of the
Radio Science Experiment by tracking 351 orbits of the Pioneer
Venus Orbiter. The data set consists of a table with the
following columns: spacecraft latitude, longitude (degrees),
accelerations, and altitude (km). The acceleration data were
determined from differentiation of raw Doppler residuals and are
expressed as units of mm/s**2. To obtain LOS gravity in
milligals, accelerations need to be multiplied by 100. An
acceleration of 1.20 mm/s**2, therefore, corresponds to 120 mgal,
a large gravity anomaly. |
