  4. Artist’s view of MRM on-board Chang’E-1

  5. Major technical parameter of CE-1 MRM

  6. MRM data at various level of preprocessing

  7. Chang’E-1 microwave brightness temperature data • preprocessed to a distributable PDS (Planetary Data System) format. • relevant info in each record are: • the UTC time of the measurement, • brightness temperature from the 4 microwave channels, • solar incident angle, • solar azimuth angle, and • the orbital information of CE-1 (longitude, latitude and orbital altitude).

  8. MRM data stored in SQL-server

  9. Some details of the Earth-Moon system

  10. Factors that determine the Lunar surface temperature Ignoring topographical effects, seasonal and diurnal temperature variation in the surface lunar layers are determined by the balance between • Solar radiation (1366W·m-2) • Earthshine (0.099~0.201 W·m-2) • Internal heat flow (0.02 -0.04W·m-2) and • Radiation from lunar surface.

  11. Dependence of lunar surface temperature • No seasonal variation (except at the poles) • Diurnal variation (hour angle) • Lunar latitude • Lambertian model • Pettit and Nicholson, “Lunar radiation and temperatures”, Astrophys. J. , 71, 102-135, 1930 • Topographic effects (sloping surfaces, craters) • Soil physics: emissivity, dielectric properties

  12. CE-1 Data Preprocess Horizontal coordinate system: A: Azimuth & a: altitude

  13. Data Preprocess: The Lunar Equatorial Coordinate system The main disadvantage of the horizon system is the steady change of coordinates for a given astronomical object as Moon rotates. This can be removed by using a coordinate system which is fixed at the stars (or the celestial sphere defined with the Moon). We define the lunar equatorial coordinate system similar to that defined for Earth and thus convenient for lunar observers.

  14. The Horizontal System and the Equatorial Coordinate system Sun

  15. Transformation of Horizontal to Equatorial Coordinates A: Azimuth a: altitude : Hour Angle : Declination (偏差) : Lunar Latitude

  16. Hour Angle Hour angle is the angular displacement of the sun east or west of the local meridian due to rotation of the moon on its axis at 15° per lunar hour with morning being negative and afternoon being positive.

  17. The Lunar Thermal Environment

  18. CE-1’s 37GHz TB data

  19. Analyze the 3-Dimensional data of CE-1 (TB depends on Latitude, Longitude, Hour-angle) Exploratory data analysis (EDA)  Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is an approach to analyze data for the purpose of formulating hypotheses worth testing, complementing the tools of conventional statistics for testing its basic characteristic. The principle graph techniques used in EDA are scalar plot, histogram plot and other tools.

  20. Raw data: latitude between ±1° TB Data Hour Angle

  21. After removing the noise: latitude between ±1° TB Hour angle

  22. Regression with degree-seven polynomial

  23. Regression analysis in Hour-angle for 3 different latitude TB data within narrow latitude bands extending ±1°up & down TB Hour angle

  24. EDA analysis for a small region First, we could see the raw data below, which is regular, but there has some repetitive cover data (at fixed HA) Latitude Longitude

  25. EDA analysis for a small region The figure below is the data visualization method for the the actual data points.

  26. Spatial interpolation

  27. Linear interpolation C B Half way from A to B, Value is (A + B) / 2 A

  28. Nonlinear Interpolation • Common types:1. Inverse Distance Weighted 2. Kriging

  29. TB map without local time treatment

  30. TB map without local time treatment

  31. Major hot regions on the Moon (37GHz TB image)

  32. Major hot regions on the Moon (37GHz TB image)

  33. Correlation studies TiO2 distribution retrieved from Clementine UV-VIS-IR data (Lucey et al., 2000) Lucey, P. G., et al., 2000. Lunar iron and titanium abundance algorithms based on final processing of Clementine ultraviolet-visible images. Journal of Geophysical Research-Planets. 105, 20297-20305.

  34. Correlation between 37GHz daytime TB and TiO2 at equator

  35. However, if the correlation is computed for the whole moon, the correlation is very low. This may be due to noises on the maps, missing data, or the influence of shadows.

  36. Conditional Correlation

  37. Lunar regions with TiO2 content higher than 0, 3, 6, and 9 wt.% (top to bottom)

  38. 37GHz 3GHz 3GHz

  39. Conclusion • For global imaging, it is important to distinguish between the spatial and local time effects on the CE-1 MRM data. • We introduce the solar “hour angle” as a local time variable. • TB is a function of latitude, longitude, and hour angle. • Imaging procedure: • regression analysis on hour angle • Spatial interpolation • Correlation studies with CE-1 MRM data and Clementine UV-VIS-IR data • High TiO2 content may be responsible for some interesting day-night thermal behavior in Oceanus Procellarum and Mare Tranquillitatis.
