a Variations in Z. b Variations in α. c Variations in excavation range from the impact point, \({r}_{E}^{*}\), in blue, while those from the cone axis, \({r}_{E}^{*}\sin {\Delta }_{E}^{*}\), in red. d Variations in geometric factor along each piece in an azimuthal direction. Uncertainties are provided in 1σ by computing the standard deviations of the whole samples per azimuthal angle bin. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
