ON GRAVITY REDUCTIONS.

Abstract

Bouguer's and isostatic methods for the evaluation of gravity anomalies on the earth's physical surface are discussed. Errors involved in the reduction of gravity down to sea level are compared for condensation, isostatic, and Rudzki's anomalies. The connections between gravity anomalies at the earth's surface and on the geoid are discussed. (Author)
