USGS Moon Relief

The available resolutions for this grid are:

• "01d", "30m", "20m", "15m", "10m", "06m", "05m", "04m", "03m", "02m", "01m", "30s", "15s", "14s". Where the suffix d, m and s stand for arc-degrees, arc-minutes, and arc-seconds. See also the manual of remotegrid for information about the grid registrations.

On first usage, the grids are downloaded to the user ./gmt/server/... directory. On later usages, the grid(s) are loaded from that local directory.

The default color palette table (CPT) for this dataset is moon.cpt. Note, that palette is different from the one used to create the figure displayed on this page. If you want to reproduce the fig above you need to use the cmap="@moon_cpt.cpt". The color palette is implicitly used when passing in the file name of the dataset to any grid plotting method if no CPT is explicitly specified.

Refer to moon_relief for more details about technical detail, available resolutions, sizes, version information and references.
