This volume, using 3399 orbit passes, is the newest 3D radargram available for Planum Boreum. Using advanced techniques built upon the work of Foss et al., (2017) (PDF), Putzig et al. (2022) resolved many of the short comings noticeable in the 2016 Planum Boreum volume (available below). Through co-registering the surface reflections with those estimated using the University of Arizona off-nadir ("clutter") simulator and advantages developed in the algorithm used in correcting for ionospheric distortion, the resolution available in the 2D radargrams was almost nearly recovered. This work was funded by NASA's Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP).

There are three volumes available for download. The first is the full time-domain 3D radargram at the processing datum. This volume extends out from the pole to about 75° North. The other two volumes are constrained to the extent of the north polar layered deposits, have been redatumed to be consistent with the US RDR PDS products, and there are time and depth volumes available for this region.

Repurposing travel unused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, MRO funded the development of a 3D radargram in a 10°-by-10° region of Deuteronilus Mensae in order to determine the viability of the 3D imaging techniques developed by Putzig et al. (2022) in less densely covered mid-latitude targets of interest. The extents of this volume are from 37°N to 47°N and 25°W to 35°

This volume using 2093 orbit passes and was first presented by Nathaniel Putzig at the Fall AGU Meeting in 2016, with results reported by Putzig et al. (2018; accepted manuscript). The SEG-Y formatted volumes may be read into commercially available software such as SeisWare, SeisVision, Kingdom, and others. An accompanying informational keyword file describes the header format but cannot be used to load the SEG-Y files into SeisWare. A separate data-loading keyword file is provided for that purpose.

There are two volumes available for download. The two volumes are the full time- and depth-domain 3D radargram at the processing datum which extends out from the pole to about 75° South.

This volume using 2311 orbit passes was first presented by Nathaniel Putzig at the 22nd Annual 3D Seismic Symposium on March 3, 2016 and is featured in the January 2017 volume of SEG's The Leading Edge (Foss et al., 2017; PDF available here), with a follow-up article in Icarus by Putzig et al. (2018; accepted manuscript) describing first results. Foss and Putzig were interviewed by SEG in conjunction with the TLE publication (listen to the podcast here).
