Processes of the space weathering on the Moon affect the optical properties of an exposed lunar soil. The main spectral/optical effects of space weathering are a reduction of reflectance, attenuation of the 1-μm ferrous absorption band, and a red-sloped continuum creation. Lucey et al. proposed to estimate the maturity of lunar soils from Clementine UVVIS data using a method which decorrelates the effects of variations in Fe2+ concentration from the effects of soil maturity. The method calculates optical maturity defined as parameter OMAT. Pinet et al. used the method to analyse the “Reiner-γ – Reiner” region on the basis of Clementine spectral image data.
