Scientific paper

Using the technique of photoclinometry, topographic profiles across areas of grooved terrain and several other features on Ganymede have been constructed. The grooved terrain examined consists of subparallel grooves spaced 3-10 km apart. Topographic amplitudes are typically 300-400 m, with a maximum of about 700 m. Slopes are very gentle and tend to be primarily concave upward. Very few major positive relief features exist on Ganymede. The most important of these is a broad, gently sloping dome-shaped feature 260 km in diameter and over 2 km high.
