| Summary: | and 16 that are now available in published reports covers an area from 25O N latitude to the north pole and over almost the entire 360 ° of longitude. We have overlaid these images with gravity contours determined from analysis of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) data. A complete report on the gravity reduction was published in the J. of Geophysical Research (I), where the gravity contours overlaid a Mercator map of PVO altimetry data (2). This previous analysis revealed the high correlation between gravity and surface relief. Now in this report we evaluate specific types of visual SAR features with positive or negative gravity anomalies. We have found several SAR features that appear to correlate with gravity anomalies that previously were overlooked because of no obvious feature in the altimetry data or were relatively low amplitude. For example, near latitude 35ON and longitude |
