Mars topography: bulk statistics and spectral scaling

In this paper we present a systematic study of the Mars topography focusing on the statistical distributions and maps of the 5° × 5° cell-averaged mean elevations, standard deviations, skewness and kurtosis coefficients, and power spectra. Altogether, the obtained data suggest that at a 5° × 5° cell scale a large portion of the Martian surface may be reasonably considered as a Gaussian random field with a three-range spectrum consisting: (1) a high-energy low-wave-number range (≈0.003
