Data used in the analysis of Baltis Vallis, Venus

The files included in this data repository were used in the
analysis and figures of Conrad and Nimmo (2023) to determine
the characteristic wavelengths of the Baltis Vallis canale.

Baltis Vallis is a ~7000 km long channel on the surface of
Venus that was altered over most of that length.

The included files are in comma separated values format with
the first line giving the column disciptions.
