Temperatures in Shadow and Sunlight
Sunlit surfaces nearly in radiative equilibrium (400 K at normal solar incidence)
Shadows much colder; conduction from subsurface balances thermal emission (100 K at midnight)
Infrared Emission from a Rough Surface
Emission at shorter wavelengths dominated by warmer facets (two Diviner channels indicated by arrows)
Surface Roughness Example: Apollo 11
• Best-fit RMS slope 20 – 30
• Model fit quality changes with local time… poor modeling of shadow temperatures?
Comparison to Apollo Landing Sites

Helfenstein and Shepard (1999)
Problem: We should not be able to see roughness below the thermal skin depth of a few centimeters, yet RMS slopes match sub-millimeter values from Apollo…
Roughness at What Scale?
Preliminary Roughness Map
RMS surface slopes, derived from channels 4 and 7, corrected for emissivity(We are working on a global map, but emissivity correction is challenging at higher latitudes.)
