For more information about LALT derived products, see the KAGUYA (SELENE) Product Format Description - Laser Altimeter (LALT).

LALT derived products include spherical harmonics coefficients of the Lunar topography, topographic map of the Moon, and grid topographic data of the Moon.

Spherical harmonic coefficients of Lunar global topography obtained from the analysis of elevation data in [Lunar Global Topographic Data as Time Series]. Maximum degree is 360.

Global topographic map of the Moon is obtained from the interpolation of elevation data in Lunar Global Topographic Data as Time Series. Topographic image of the Lunar North Pole is centered on Lunar north pole and 10 degrees in radius. It is obtained from the interpolation of elevation data in Lunar Global Topographic Data as Time Series. Topographic image of the Lunar South Pole is centered on Lunar south pole and 10 degrees in radius. It is obtained from the interpolation of elevation data in Lunar Global Topographic Data as Time Series.

Global grid topographic data of the Moon is obtained from the interpolation of elevation data in Lunar Global Topographic Data as Time Series. Grid topographic data of the Lunar North Pole is a numerical topographic data centered on Lunar north pole and 10 degrees in radius. It is obtained from the interpolation of elevation data in Lunar Global Topographic Data as Time Series. Grid topographic data of the Lunar South Pole is a numerical topographic data centered on Lunar south pole and 10 degrees in radius. It is obtained from the interpolation of elevation data in Lunar Global Topographic Data as Time Series.
