1. LOLA measures a higher surface reflectance across the lunar surface at colder temperatures.
2. The change in albedo is relatively small (only a few %) from 07:00 to 12:00.
3. The ∆R/∆T*1000 is [-1 0] 1/K on average.

We observe a higher normal albedo of the lunar surface when the temperature is lower, as measured by LOLA at 1064 nm.
This is consistent with:1. Laboratory observations of pure minerals.
(Singer and Roush, 1985; Roush and Singer, 1986, 1987; Hinrichs and Lucey, 2002)
2. Ground-based observations of A-type asteroids. (Lucey et al., 1998)
3. Spacecraft-based observations of Eros. (Lucey et al., 2002)
On the space-weathered Moon, the magnitude oftemperature-dependent spectral effects is relatively low.
Ongoing work consists of determining the causes of these changes.
Future science of and from the Moon should account for temperature-dependent spectral effects.
