Some details of the Earth-Moon system
Factors that determine the Lunar surface temperature
Ignoring topographical effects, seasonal and diurnal temperature variation in the surface lunar layers are determined by the balance between
•Solar radiation (1366W·m-2)
•Earthshine (0.099~0.201 W·m-2)
•Internal heat flow (0.02 - 0.04W·m-2 ) and
•Radiation from lunar surface.
Dependence of lunar surface temperature
• No seasonal variation (except at the poles)• Diurnal variation (hour angle)• Lunar latitude
– Lambertian model – Pettit and Nicholson, “Lunar radiation and
temperatures”, Astrophys. J. , 71, 102-135, 1930
• Topographic effects (sloping surfaces, craters)
• Soil physics: emissivity, dielectric properties
CE-1 Data Preprocess Horizontal coordinate
system:
A: Azimuth & a: altitude
The main disadvantage of the horizon system is the steady change of coordinates for a given astronomical object as Moon rotates. This can be removed by using a coordinate system which is fixed at the stars (or the celestial sphere defined with the Moon).
We define the lunar equatorial coordinate system similar to that defined for Earth and thus convenient for lunar observers.

Hour angle is the angular displacement of the sun east or west of the local meridian due to rotation of the moon on its axis at 15° per lunar hour with morning being negative and afternoon being positive.

Exploratory data analysis (EDA)
Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is an approach to analyze data for the purpose of formulating hypotheses worth testing, complementing the tools of conventional statistics for testing its basic characteristic.
The principle graph techniques used in EDA are scalar plot, histogram plot and other tools.
Raw data: latitude between ±1°

Correlation between 37GHz daytime TB and TiO2 at equator
However, if the correlation is computed for the whole moon, the correlation is very low.
This may be due to noises on the maps, missing data, or the influence of shadows.

Conclusion 1. For global imaging, it is important to distinguish
between the spatial and local time effects on the CE-1 MRM data.
2. We introduce the solar “hour angle” as a local time variable.
3. TB is a function of latitude, longitude, and hour angle.
4. Imaging procedure: 1. regression analysis on hour angle2. Spatial interpolation
5. Correlation studies with CE-1 MRM data and Clementine UV-VIS-IR data
6. High TiO2 content may be responsible for some interesting day-night thermal behavior in Oceanus Procellarum and Mare Tranquillitatis.
