CLEMENTINE HIRES 750-nm MOSAIC
Clementine HiRes 750-nm Mosaics
Information and Browser for CD Volume CL_6009
This CD is part of a 20 volume set that contains the 750-nm "Clementine HiRes
Mosaic" of Earth's Moon covering sub-polar latitudes from 80 deg S to 80 deg N,
and the poles above 80 deg. The HiRes mosaics use images from the Clementine
HiRes camera taken with the 750 nm ("D") filter. The sub-polar mosaics are
mapped in the sinusoidal equal-area projection at a resolution of 20 meters per
pixel, while the HiRes polar mosaics employ the stereographic projection at a
scale of about 30 meters per pixel at the pole.
The sub-polar mosaics are organized into twelve 30-deg wide longitude zones and
two latitude zones of 80 deg extent, which defines 24 grids. This organization
mirrors that of the Clementine UV/Vis basemap (CD-ROM volumes CL_3001-3015,
available from the PDS), which provides the geometric control for the HiRes
mosaics. Generally, the data products from a single grid fill a single CD,
although where feasible the two latitude zones were combined into a single CD.
The table shown below summarizes the contents of each CD volume.

The mosaics of each grid are tiled into convenient strips of approximately 1.75
deg latitude extent (2653 lines) and widths correponding to the tile's valid
data extent, usually no more than about 300 pixels.
The HiRes mosaics are geometrically and photometrically tied to the UV/Vis
Basemap Mosaic, which is a radiometrically and geometrically controlled,
photometrically modeled global image mosaic compiled using images from the 750
nanometer filter observations of the Clementine Ultraviolet / Visible camera.
The basemap mosaic is mapped in the Sinusoidal Equal-Area projection at a
resolution of 100 meters per pixel.
A detailed description of the Clementine HiRes Mosaic with information about
the organization and compilation of the database is provided in the file volinfo.htm . Please refer to this document
for more information.
The image files are organized according to NASA's PDS standards. An image file
(tile) comprises a PDS labeled file containing an "image object". Software
tools such as ISIS enable users to manipulate the images. ISIS may be obtained
from the USGS Astrogeology Team.
Internet resources (only useful with internet link):
Browse the Image Collection on this CD
You can view browse versions (reduced resolution images) of the mosaic tiles on
this CD with UV/Vis basemap context with a graphics-based
interface.
Image Display for Full Resolution Image Products
In addition to
displaying reduced resolution 'browse' images, the text based interface
also permits display of full resolution image products using a web-browser
helper application. The program NASAView can be used for this
purpose. NASAView is a PDS product display tool that runs on multiple platforms
with a common graphical user interface. See the PDS Home Page for more
information on NASAView and it's availability (http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/). Once NASAView
is installed on your system, it can be incorporated with your web browser as a
helper application. Refer to your particular web browser documentation for
information on helper applications.
