Introduction
This data set shows SAR-processed LRS data of 5 mare basins showing our
interpretations and the nadir tracks of the Kaguya spacecraft corresponding to the LRS
data (dashed lines) on the previous lithological maps [Hiesinger et al., 2000, 2003,
2010; Kodama and Yamaguchi, 2003; Morota et al., 2011].
fs01.pdf (Figure 6). (a) SAR-processed LRS data of Oceanus Procellarum showing our
interpretations. (b) The nadir tracks of the Kaguya spacecraft corresponding to the LRS
data (dashed lines) on the previous lithological map of Oceanus Procellarum [Hiesinger
et al., 2003; Morota et al., 2011]. The tracks over which subsurface reflectors are
detected are marked as the same color as in the LRS image.
fs02.pdf (Figure 7). (a) SAR-processed LRS data of Mare Smythii showing our
interpretations. (b) The nadir track of the Kaguya spacecraft corresponding to the LRS
data (dashed line) on the previous lithological map of Mare Smythii [Hiesinger et al.,
2010]. The tracks over which subsurface reflectors are detected are marked as the same
color as in the LRS image.
fs03.pdf (Figure 8). (a) SAR-processed LRS data of Mare Nectaris showing our
interpretations. (b) The nadir track of the Kaguya spacecraft corresponding to the LRS
data (dashed line) on the previous lithological map of Mare Nectaris [Kodama and
Yamaguchi, 2003]. The tracks over which subsurface reflectors are detected are marked
as the same color as in the LRS image.
fs04.pdf (Figure 9). (a) SAR-processed LRS data of Mare Humorum showing our
interpretations. (b) The nadir track of the Kaguya spacecraft corresponding to the LRS
data (dashed line) on the previous lithological map of Mare Humorum [Hiesinger et al.,
2000]. The tracks over which subsurface reflectors are detected are marked as the same
color as in the LRS image.
fs05.pdf (Figure 10). (a) SAR-processed LRS data of Mare Imbrium showing our
interpretations. (b) The nadir tracks of the Kaguya spacecraft corresponding to the LRS
data (dashed lines) on the previous lithological map of Mare Imbrium [Hiesinger et al.,
2000]. The tracks over which subsurface reflectors are detected are marked as the same
color as in the LRS image.
