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. File Discriptions: FordVenus720shape.txt = Spherical Harmonics Coefficients derived from Ford and Pettengil (1992)'s topography BaltisVallis_LLT.csv = Baltis Vallis longitude, latitude, topography sampled from ArcGIS BaltisVallis_Metrics_North.txt = % downhill and conformity factor as a funciton of maximum spherical harmonic degree. North source case BaltisVallis_Metrics_South.txt = % downhill and conformity factor as a funciton of maximum spherical harmonic degree. South source case Synthetic_Metric_Deviation.txt = Standard deviation of % downhill and conformity factor for our 1000 synthetic profiles. BaltisVallis_Power_Spectrum.txt = Topographic power spectra of the topography presented in BaltisVallis_LLT.csv
