Fatiando a Terra Data: Moon - Gravity grid at 10 arc-minute resolution

Global 10 arc-minute resolution grids of the amplitude of the gravity acceleration (gravitational + centrifugal) of the Moon at a constant height. Generated from the spherical harmonic model GRGM1200B (Goossens et al., 2019).

Note: This is a processed and formatted version of the source dataset below. It's meant for use in documentation and tutorials of the Fatiando a Terra project. Please cite the original authors when using this dataset.

Changes made: 

Expanded the spherical harmonic model into a grid.

Replaced the GM, radius, and angular velocity of the model the those from Wieczorek (2015).

Generate the grid at a constant height of 11 km above the reference lunar sphere to guarantee the data are outside the topographic masses.
