Titolo: | Global permittivity mapping of the Martian surface from SHARAD | Autori: | Castaldo, Luigi Mège, Daniel Gurgurewicz, Joanna OROSEI, ROBERTO Alberti, Giovanni |
Data pubblicazione: | 2017 | Rivista: | EARTH AND PLANETARY SCIENCE LETTERS | Numero: | 462 | Da pagina:: | 55 | Abstract: | SHARAD is a subsurface sounding radar aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, capable of detecting dielectric discontinuities in the subsurface caused by compositional and/or structural changes. Echoes coming from the surface contain information on geometric properties at metre scale and on the permittivity of the upper layers of the Martian crust. A model has been developed to estimate the effect of surface roughness on echo power, depending on statistical parameters such as RMS height and topothesy. Such model is based on the assumption that topography can be characterized as a self-affine fractal, and its use allows the estimation of the dielectric properties of the first few metres of the Martian soil. A permittivity map of the surface of Mars is obtained, covering several large regions across the planet surface. The most significant correspondence with geology is observed at the dichotomy boundary, with high dielectric constant on the highlands side (7 to over 10) and lower on the lowlands side (3 to 7). Other geological correlations are discussed. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/27137 | URL: | https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0012821X17300183?via%3Dihub | ISSN: | 0012-821X | DOI: | 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.01.012 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017E&PSL.462...55C | Fulltext: | open |
