Mercury Spectrophotometric Modeling Using MESSENGER Data by Vesa Björn, Karri Muinonen, Antti Penttilä, Deborah Domingue

“…The model includes a shadowing correction that depends on three geometry parameters of the regolith, allowing for the retrieval of the physical regolith structure from the spectrophotometry. The most important parameter is the packing density v , while the other two parameters describe the regolith’s roughness as a fractional Brownian motion surface: the Hurst exponent H in the horizontal and the amplitude σ in the vertical direction. …”
