ON THE ACCURACY OF THE THREE COMPONENTS D(DELTA G)/DX(SUB I) AT LOW ELEATIONS DERIVED FROM GRAVITY ANOMALIES.

Abstract

The error in the three components of the gravity anomaly gradient as derived from surface gravity anomalies is studied. Error propagation, due to the errors in delta g at the surface is considered where the earth's surface is replaced by a plane. For low elevation, h, the same error for all three components is found. For h equals o, only the vertical gradient is considered. (Author)
