Brief Description for the above data set

The calibrations of the high resolution 750nm MOON albedo image is based upon the Clementine calibration effort performed by ACT, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the NASA Clementine Science Team. The radiometric calibration was performed by ACT with significant input from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Brown University and USGS Flagstaff and other members of the NASA Clementine Science Team.  Photometric corrections at small phase angles (less than 3 deg.) was provided by USGS Flagstaff and JPL.  For angles larger than 3 degrees, ACT derived the phase function correction from the data itself.  Geometric and cartographic calibration was provided by USGS Flagstaff, Rand Corporation, and JPL/NAIF. Image registration relies solely upon the SPICE data provided by JPL/NAIF and NASA Goddard updated ephemeris. Registration is typically better than a pixel at this scale. The resulting high resolution mosaics contain data only from the regular mapping phase of the mission.  No attempts have been made to fill in data gaps using post-mapping data recovery orbits.
