I've downloaded most of the rdrs now so I thought I'd have a play with the data.
This is an image of the South Pole, The area shown is about 200kmx200km. I haven't tried to be accurate with the vertical scale. Here's a contour map of the same area, the contour interval is 200m. |

It will take time to remove all the streaks, which are caused by track-to-track errors in the orbit determination. They can be removed by comparing tracks that cross each other, but that will wait until later in the mission or after it. These are, after all, only interim products. (Incidentally, the low resolution Magellan altimetry at PDS is realy bad for that. A cleaned-up version was created at some point but does not seem to have been archived)
