PROJECT NAME WAC TiO2 Abundance Map CONTENTS TiO2 abundance in wt% derived from Wide Angle Camera (WAC) 321/415 nm band ratio [1]. AREAL COVERAGE 70°N-70°S, 0°E-360°E SOURCE IMAGES The 321 and 415 nm bands of the WAC Hapke Normalized Mosaic from ~124,300 WAC images acquired from January 21, 2010 to May 1st, 2013 [2]. MAP PROJECTION Equirectangular (centered at 0°N, 0°E; 400 m/pixel at the equator) using ephemeris data provided by Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) and Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) teams [3] and an improved geometric camera model [4]. ESTIMATE OF TIO2 WT% AND MAP CREATION From a linear correlation between the TiO2 contents of returned lunar soil samples and the WAC 321/415 nm ratio at the sampling sites, the 321/415 nm ratio map was converted to the TiO2 abundance estimate map. The areas with TiO2 lower than the detection limit (<2 wt%) are set to 1 wt%. See [1] for more details. There are some anomalously high values in the TiO2 maps, especially at high latitudes. Values >15% should not be trusted. PDS PRODUCT NAMING CONVENTION The semi-global TiO2 map is cut into 70° latitude by 90° longitude tiles. The tile files are named in following manner: WAC_TIO2_[projection, E for equirectangular][center latitude x10][N/S][center longitude x10] As a supplemental material, the WAC TiO2 map without setting the areas of <2 wt% as 1 wt% is also available as tiles named: WAC_TIO2_RATIO_[projection, E for equirectangular][center latitude x10][N/S][center longitude x10] Notice that the TiO2 variations below 2 wt% (= detection limit) do not correspond to the TiO2 abundance.
