Impact speed as a function of angular distance from the apex a); and the incidence angle b); normal speed c); crater diameter d); impact density e); and crater density f) as functions of longitude, all in terms of simulated global averages. a) Data from the simulated distribution of the impact speed (black squares), each of which is the average over the small circle where β is fixed, are fit with Eq. (111). The best fit (black solid curve) is generated with plotted . b)−f) Data from simulated distributions, each of which is the mean of the two values at location (λ, ± ϕ) with | ϕ | being 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° (black, red, blue, and green squares), are fit with Eqs. (112)−(116). The best fits (solid curves in the same color as the squares for the same | ϕ |) are generated with plotted A0,1,2.
