Magellan Spherical Harmonics, Topography, and Gravity Data

February 24, 2006. A revised gravity model (SHGJ180U.A01) and topography model (SH5JV360.A02) from Alex Konopliv, JPL, have been added to this archive.

This archive contains Magellan spherical harmonic models of Venus' gravity and topography field, and digital maps of the Bouguer anomalies, free-air gravity accelerations and errors, geoid anomalies and errors, and topography. It also contains documentation describing the products.

Data Set Producer

This archive was produced by Jim Alexopoulos. The spherical harmonic gravity model and digital gravity map products were generated by William L. Sjogren, JPL and Alex S. Konopliv, JPL. The spherical harmonic topography model and digital topography map products were generated by Nicole J. Rappaport, JPL.  Please direct any questions and comments to the PDS Geosciences Node, geosci@wunder.wustl.edu.
