Gravity modeling of lunar lava tubes: Insights from Ape Cave as a terrestrial analogue

The files presented here serve as a repository for the datasets generated during the research Gravity Modeling of Lunar Lava Tubes: Insights from Ape Cave as a Terrestrial Analogue. The material includes the following: 

Gravity_Field_Corrected.csv: contains the corrected gravity data collected from four transects at Ape Cave (WA, USA) in June 2023. 

Gravity_Forward_Ape_Cave.csv: synthetic results obtained from the gravity forward modeling of Ape Cave, using a density contrast of 2746 kg/m³ and a high-resolution 3D model of the cave.

Gravity_Lunar_North.csv and Gravity_Lunar_South.csv: synthetic results obtained from the gravity forward modeling of a lunar lava tube with Ape Cave dimentions and a density contrast of 3270 kg/m³, a minimum depth of 26 m and two layers of regolith with a combined thickness of 5 m. The model was split into North and South sections due to model size constraints.

Gravity_Lunar_Scaled_North.csv and Gravity_Lunar_Scaled_South.csv: synthetic results obtained from the gravity forward modeling of a lunar lava tube five times larger than Ape Cave, a density contrast of 3270 kg/m³, a minimum depth of 26 m and two layers of regolith with a combined thickness of 5 m. The model was split into North and South sections due to model size constraints.
