DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION The IEGDR product is a global map of planetary radius, areiod,topography, and number of observations, derived from MOLA PEDR productsand aggregated into latitude-longitude bins. The IEGDR is released intwo formats, an ASCII table and an image. The table (this data set) hasone row for each latitude-longitude bin, from 90 to -90 degrees latitudeand from 0 to 360 degrees longitude. Values for planetary radius, areoid,topography, and number of observations per bin are stored as columns inthe table.

ABSTRACT_TEXT The IEGDR product is a global map of planetary radius, areiod,topography, and number of observations, derived from MOLA PEDR products and aggregated into latitude-longitude bins. The IEGDR is released in two formats, an ASCII table and an image. The table (this data set) has one row for each latitude-longitude bin, from 90 to -90 degrees latitude and from 0 to 360 degrees longitude. Values for planetary radius, areoid, topography, and number of observations per bin are stored as columns in the table.
