THE PREDICTION OF POINT AND MEAN GRAVITY ANOMALIES THROUGH THE USE OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER.

Abstract

The least squares predictions of point anomalies have been carried out in two distinct areas of the United States. The statistical quantities needed for their use in the prediction equations of Moritz were computed using some 32,000, 5' x 5' mean anomalies. The mean anomalies and their accuracies in these two areas were predicted in 5' x 5' and 30' x 30' squares. Computer programs written for the IBM 7094 were used in these computations. (Author)
