The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) Gridded Data Record Albedo Map (GDRDAM) data products are map-projected albedo maps (brightness). The products are derived from nominal mission data only (e.g. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) nominal phases 1-13). The GDRDAM data products contain the binned, interpolated altimetric measurements on a uniformly-spaced grid.
A pixel in the GDRDAM product represents the mean value at the center of a region bounded by lines of constant longitude and latitude at integral numbers of degrees or fractions thereof, scaled and interpolated where necessary. The size of the products at higher resolutions requires that they be aggregated in subsets of global coverage. Global standard products use the Equirectangular map projection, also known as Simple Cylindrical, while the higher-resolution products afforded by dense polar coverage use the Polar Stereographic projection.
