ARECIBO VENUS RADIO TELESCOPE RESAMPLED 12.6 CM RADAR V1.0

The Arecibo 12.6 cm radar data set for Venus consists of scaled radar backscatter cross section images generated from data obtained in 1983 and 1988. The images are in raster format (one image per record, with no embedded labels). The original images are in 16-bit, unsigned integer, most-significant-byte-first format. Since the volume of the entire set of 16-bit images would have exceeded the capacity of the CD-ROM, some of the images have been scaled to 8-bit versions. Specifically, the entire set of 1988 images are in the scaled 8-bit format, while all the 1983 images are in the original 16-bit format. Both the 16-bit and the 8-bit images were provided by Don Campbell, Cornell University.
