Global Photometric Sequence Shapefile

Shapefile of LROC Photometric Sequences. Polygons were generated using GDAL and OGR tools from the LROC NAC DTM footprints used to map project images for the photometric sequences. Therefore, the footprints will not exactly match the footprints of all the images included in the photometric sequence.

Attributes:

• sitename - Human-readable sitename
• PDS_name - base PDS name derived from center latitude and longitude coordinates
• Image_num - Number of images includes in the photometric sequence
• DTM_NAME - Base name of the DTM used for registration and map projection
• Center_Lat - Center latitude in degrees
• Center_Lon - Center longitude in degrees (0 - 360)
• Min_Inc - Minimum incidence angle of the images in degrees
• Max_Inc - Maximum incidence angle of the images in degrees
• Min_Emiss - Minimum emission angle of the images in degrees
• Max_Emiss - Maximum emission angle of the images in degrees
• Min_Phase - Minimum phase angle of the images in degrees
• Max_Phase - Maximum phase angle of the images in degrees
• Start_Date - Start date of the first image taken in the photometric sequence
• End_Date - End date of the last image taken in the photometric sequence
• URL - URL for the photometric sequence on the LROC RDR website
