DE GRAAF-HUNTER'S MODEL EARTH ANOMALIES,
Abstract
Several new theories on geodesics have been advanced. One of these, The Model Earth with Smoothed Topography, proposed by J. de Graaff Hunter, is the object of this thesis. The author attempts to do the following: (1) Explain the Model Earth theory. (2) Demonstrate a computational method for; (a) the model earth elevations, and (b) the model earth gravity anomaly. (3) Analyze the relationship between and compare the model earth anomaly with an isostatic anomaly and two types of free air anomalies (reduced to mean elevation rather than to the geoid). (4) Draw any legitimate con clusions which may be found in the body of the thesis. (Author)
