Description

THIS MODEL IS SUPERSEDED BY Spherical harmonic models of the shape of Mars

 

MarsTopo719.shape is a spherical harmonic model of the shape of the planet Mars. This model makes use of 4-pi normalized spherical harmonic functions that exclude the Condon-Shortley phase factor of (-1)m. The description of how this spherical harmonic model was constructed can be found in Wieczorek (2015). MarsTopo719.shape is a truncated version of MarsTopo2600.shape.
