Description
The dataset includes a .tif file of the SiO2 wt.% map of the surface of the Moon. The dataset has a spatial resolution of 32 pixels per degree with 360° longitude and ± 70° latitude. The calculation of the SiO2 concentration is based on the calibration of the relationship between the Christiansen Feature (CF) and SiO2. The underlying Christiansen Feature data is from Lucey et al. 2021 "Lunar Mineralogy Derived from Improved Diviner Lunar Radiometer Christiansen Feature Maps", with the dataset available on http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4558235.
The dataset also includes the spectra collected on the analogue materials used for the calibration. FTIR data is also available on https://iris.uni-muenster.de/.
