Scientific paper
Remote sensing techniques are reviewed in terms of their application to the study of the lunar surface. These techniques include: reflectance spectroscopy (UV and IR), X-ray and gamma-ray analysis, alpha-particle spectroscopy, thermal emission, polarimetry, photography, and visual observation. Each technique is indexed with respect to its usefulness in either describing the appearance and location of a feature, classifying the feature in terms of a broader category, or supplying additional quantitative data. Special attention is given to the mare deposits of the Imbrium basin.
