Lunar Prospector Spherical Harmonics and Gravity Models

April 4, 2012. A new data set has been added: Lunar Prospector spherical harmonic data of the lunar gravity field from the Goddard Lunar Gravity Model 3 (GLGM-3), volume LP_1201.

These archives contain Lunar Prospector spherical harmonic models of the lunar gravity field, digital maps of Bouguer anomalies, free-air gravity accelerations and errors, and geoid anomalies and errors. They also contain documentation that describes the products.

Click on the links to view files and directories in the data sets. See below to download the data sets with FTP.
