Data for: "Solar wind erosion of lunar regolith is suppressed by surface morphology and regolith properties"

Introduction and Changelog

This data repository contains the data behind the figures of the paper entitled "Solar wind erosion of lunar regolith is suppressed by surface morphology and regolith properties". The CC-BY licence applies to all data files. 

In the current version of the repository, the data are presented as they appear in the final version of the above peer-reviewed manuscript. In the original version, the same data were presented, but differently arranged. The previous version reflected the structure/order of the figures as they appeard in the preprint available on arXiv.

Figure 1

Data files behind Figure 1 (sputter yields for flat samples) have names starting with "Fig1a" and "Fig1b", indicating data for hydrogen and helium irradiations, respectively. The rest of the filename coincides with the labelling of the Figure.
They are organised as comma separated value (CSV) files, where the first line gives the names and units of the columns. For this Figure, data are given in both units amu/ion and atoms/ion, corresponding to both axes of the Figure. 

Figure 2

Data that occurs for the first time in Figure 2 is stored in files starting with "Fig2a" and "Fig2b", respectively. The rest of the naming convention follows the labelling from the Figure legend, allowing to uniquely identify the data sets. Some data occur first in Figure 1. We refrained from uploading these data sets a second time. 

Figure 3

No new original data are presented in Figure 3. Data that was created and analysed for this study was already shown in the previous Figures. Data from other publications are clearly identified in the text. We do not upload these data from different publications in this repository. Instead, the interested reader is referred to the original publications.
