Topographical image of Claritas Rupes
Topographical terrain models are computed using stereo image data from the HSRC camera system, which is operated by DLR. In the absence of 'sea level', the elevation data is referenced to an areoid – a modelled equipotential surface on which everything experiences the same gravitational attraction towards the centre of the planet. The impressive Claritas Rupes escarpment can be seen in this false colour image (image key at upper right).
