INTRODUCTION
=============================================================================
The Level 3 mosaic products are Derived Data Records (DDRs) generated from 
multiple Level 2 CDRs.  They are mosaics that are produced by ingesting 
the Level 2 Stokes 1 parameter into the ISIS software.  The mosaics are 
produced for the entire lunar globe (i.e., regions between -180 and 180 
longitude and -90 to 90 latitude).  Unlike the lower-level products, these
are composed of data sets collected during multiple acquisitions and are 
produced manually using the ISIS software provided by the Astrogeology 
branch of the USGS."
