Scientific paper

Hypsometric data are used to perform an expansion of the heights of points on the lunar surface into a series of spherical functions to the 16th order and degree. A collocation method is used to predict the heights of lunar regions for which observational data are not available. The heights of near-polar trapezia are found using the model proposed by Bills and Ferrari (1977). The figure of the physical surface of the moon is represented by a triaxial ellipsoid.
