Notes on volumetric localization 2010-08-07 mM1 The measured bottom elevation (9169) exceeds the top (9145), which is impossible. The feature f9, which covers f16, has a bottom elevation of 9169. Therefore I conclude that the elevation of the top and the bottom are probably reversed. While the top should be 9169, the bottom should have a measurement of 9145. [Input: U807MM1.j]
