Count rate map of gamma rays from potassium, thorium, oxygen, iron, silicon, uranium, aluminum, calcium, magnesium, and titanium observed over 100 km altitude. The count rates are derived by fitting the gamma-ray line in spectra accumulated in cells that cover the entire moon. In this procedure, the net counts are not corrected for backgrounds from the spacecraft or the GRS instrument. The gamma-ray intensity may not be obtained with high precision in the beginning of the mission since the sufficient accumulation time is necessary. The data set is preliminary processed by possible methods available by the time of distribution, and is subject to update in the future.
