LOLA data for candidate South Pole landing sites Each directory contains 5 m/pix GeoTiffs with south polar stereographic X/Y coords in meters, MOON_ME reference frame of ephemeris DE421. X/Y coords follow the Generic Mapping Tools 'pixel-registered' convention (i.e., they are the centers of the pixels). *_surf.tif : surface height Z (meters) with interpolation filling empty pix *_ldec.tif : LDEC map, number of LOLA returns in each pixel *_toterr.tif : Total Z uncertainty in meters (formally, the RMS error) *_slp.tif : Slope (degrees) *_slperr.tif : Slope uncertainty in degrees (formally, the RMS error) Clones/ : Directory containing 100 clones of LDEM Also in each directory are the data that make up the LDEMs: *.xyzi - final point clouds after track adjustments and cleaning Data format: Binary double precision floating point tables with 4 columns: X, Y, Z, RDRid where X,Y,Z are the polar stereographic coordinates (in km) and RDRid is the LOLA RDR ID for each point with the format: YYDOYHHMM *_ROIs.tgz - archive containing shapefiles (for GIS) Site01: Connecting ridge Site04: Shackleton rim Site06: Nobile rim 1 Site07: Peak near Shackleton Site11: de Gerlache rim Site20: Leibnitz beta plateau Site23: Malapert massif Haworth Shoemaker DM2: Nobile rim 2 The site name numbering follows the paper: Illumination conditions of the lunar polar regions using LOLA topography Mazarico, E., et al.
