Analysis of the Topographic Roughness of the Moon Using the Wavelet Leaders Method and the Lunar Digital Elevation Model From the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter and SELENE …

Key Points We study the global roughness at baselines between 330 m and 1,350 km and identify scale breaks near 1, 42, and 338 km We analyze three scaling regimes 330–659 m, 1–21 km, and 42–169 km, which correspond to different impact, volcanic, and tectonic events A local roughness analysis of complex craters, basins, rilles, and light plains shows the behavior of geologic units and sloped terrain
