Abstract
⺠HF-radar reflectors were observed in the limited areas consisting of about 9% of the whole maria. ⺠Model calculations indicate that the reflectors are not compositional interfaces but porosity boundaries. ⺠The reflectors in Mare Serenitatis lie on the boundaries between basalt units with different chemical compositions. ⺠The reflectors in Mare Serenitatis seem to be regolith accumulated during the long hiatus of mare volcanisms.
