Scientific paper
With the wealth of data from the Clementine mission, it is now possible to investigate the compensation states and sub-surface structure of the lunar basins. Unfortunately, considerations of the relationship between the lunar gravity and topography for mare basins are hindered by the lack of understanding of mare thicknesses. By re-evaluating the depth-diameter relationship for large lunar basins using the Clementine topography data set, it has been found that the depths of the lunar basins measured do not exceed 4.9 km. Subtracting the depth from the rim-crest to the mare surface from the maximum depth found for non-mare basins, mare thicknesses have been calculated for the lunar mare basins. These new thicknesses can now be used in investigations of the sub-surface structure of lunar basins and their compensation states.
