Just curious, has anyone gone spelunking in the Magellan SAR EDR (raw) dataset?
https://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data/magellan/edr/ Looks like a set of 9-track mag tapes were copied to CD-ROMs for preservation, and at some point the CD files were put online in PDS. In starting to look at it, I realized that lack of knowledge of mag tape volume/label/file/record structure and terminology may impede younger explorers of this dataset. |

"We therefore cannot exclude the possibility that the flows were present when the Cycle 1 image was taken, but were not apparent in the image, perhaps because the surface texture makes the flows more distinguishable at the lower incidence angle of Cycle 2." Seems like this is most likely a radar artifact to me. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
