I have been looking for Mars albedo maps and it is a pain to find them at decent resolution and they are all really outdated.
The easy to find global one is a low resolution one from the MGS TES from before the 2001 duststorm: https://astrogeology.usgs.gov/search/map/Ma...ic_global_7410m There exists a higher resolution albedo dataset from after this duststorm but its in an odd binary format unable to easily be transformed into an image: https://sharad.psi.edu/inertia/2007/albedo.html Then there is the Mars Express one but this one is sadly very hastily put together with holes and seams all over it from the different orbital swaths, dated ten years ago as ESA has seemingly abandoned the mapping of Mars Express imagery a while back. https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/psa/mars-maps Has anyone had any better luck locating more up to date albedo maps of the red planet? I am specifically looking for one from after the "Oppy killer" dust storm in 2018. -------------------- "Thats no moon... IT'S A TRAP!"
