• Global Regolith Thermophysical Properties of the Moon From the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment (2017, methodology): “2 Comparison to Rock Abundance Rock abundance refers to the areal concentration of rocks larger than ~10 – 100 cm derived from Diviner’s nighttime multi-spectral infrared measurements (Bandfield et al., 2011).”
• The global surface temperatures of the Moon as measured by the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment (2017, methodology): “Bandfield et al. (2011) modeled anisothermality in Diviner channels 6–8 to derive rock abundances and regolith fines temperature.”
• Lunar equatorial surface temperatures and regolith properties from the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment (2012, background): “While rare rocky areas can increase nighttime T7 by tens of Kelvin, most lunar surfaces contain less than 1% rock coverage and the typical rock population has a relatively small (<1 K) influence on T7 [Bandfield et al., 2011].”
