Correlation Between Lunar Surface and Exospheric Sodium: Effects of Albedo-Driven Temperature on Multilayer Sodium Reservoirs Rather Than Surface Abundance Variations

A. Devaraj, S. Narendranath, Sreeja. S. Kartha +1

Sodium (Na) is a moderately volatile element in the lunar exosphere, released from the surface through thermal and non-thermal processes. We present a combined analysis of Chandray…
