The median polarimetric behavior for (a) CPR, (b) SC, and (c) OC and the three m-χ components (d) Red, (e) Green, and (f) Blue, subdivided by incidence angle bin, as a function of rock abundance (RA), on a log-scaled axis, as measured over the lunar maria. As depicted in the legend, color represents the combined incidence angle and TiO2 bin. The respective solid line and corresponding dashed lines are the median and 95% confidence envelope measured within that bin.
