Magellan Global Vector Data Record (GVDR)
| July
7, 2025. The Magellan Global Vector
Record (GVDR) dataset has
been migrated to the PDS4 standard. The original PDS3 data products,
labels, and documentation remain
available in their original archive
volume. The only change is that PDS4 labels and
documentation have been added to the archives.
The original data files are unchanged. Please
see
geo_notes_and_errata.pdf for more information. |
The GVDR is a sorted collection of scattering and emission measurements. The
sorting is into a grid of equal area 'pixels' distributed regularly about the
planet. For data acquired from the same pixel but in different observing
geometries, there is a second level of sorting to accommodate the different
geometrical conditions. The 'pixel' dimension is 18.225 km. The GVDR is
presented in Sinusoidal Equal Area (equatorial), Mercator (equatorial), and
Polar Stereographic (polar) projections.
