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.
