Paterae on Io: Galileo Images, Sizes, Distribution, and Ages
Abstract
Galileo images of Io from 1999 and 2000 reveal new information about its paterae. The mean of 417 paterae on Io (79% of the surface) is 41.0 km, with fewer and larger paterae poleward of +/-25° latitude. An age progression of paterae can be seen in high resolution images.
