Venus Radar Calibrated
Multi-Look Maps
|
2021-08-27. The
year 2012 OCP and SCP data products have been
updated. Their normalization now matches that of
the other data products.
2021-08-10. This is
the first release of the multi-look maps
bundle. This release includes data for the
northern hemisphere only. The southern
hemisphere data will be released at a later
date.

Earth-based,
polarimetric radar image data for Venus were collected from
1988-2020, using the Arecibo Observatory 12.6-cm
(2380 MHz) transmitter in Puerto Rico and receivers at either
the Arecibo
Observatory or the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia.
This data set contains maps of radar
backscatter from Venus assembled from
individual looks collected in these
observing runs.
The
data were provided by Bruce Campbell of the
Smithsonian Institution's Center for Earth and Planetary
Studies and archived by the PDS Geosciences
Node. These products are archived using the
PDS4 standard, unlike the delay-Doppler
data, which use the PDS3
standard.
