Scientific paper
Evidence from different sources and types of experiment is reviewed concerning dust disturbances on the moon and possible causes of the same. The temporal and spatial distributions of effects are emphasized with a view to possible correlations with transient lunar phenomena (TLP). The following areas of investigation are considered in relation to dust motion: lunar seismic activity and its effect at the regolith surface, unusual earthshine albedos in the Aristarchus crater and region, temporal and spatial anomalies in the alpha-particle count and polonium-radon ratios, lunar slope stability and soil mechanics, the horizon glow effect at sunset terminator locations, and a polarization imaging system for surveys of lunar and other planetary terrains in relation to transient events. It is concluded that there appears to be a possibility of correlation between temporal and topographical data of various kinds and the uses of these relations to assess lunar dust motion or disturbances at the surface of the lunar regolith.
