A series of 19 delay-Doppler tracks were obtained at 3.5 and 13.0 cm wavelengths during the 1988 and 1990 oppositions of Mars, covering the southern equatorial region of the planet from 3.6 to 25.1 deg S. The major structures thus surveyed encompassed Tyrrhena Patera, Melas Dorsa, Nectaris Fossae, the Huygens impact basin, and Ma'adim Vallis. Possible aqueous sedimentation sites surveyed by ground-based radars are noted to be topographically local flows with depths to 800 m.
