Experimental Isostasy. Part I. The Theory of the Determination of the Earth's Isostatic Response to a Concentrated Load,
Abstract
In previous isostatic computations, the isostatic reduction of gravity data is made using an isostatic response function (the response of the earth's gravity field to a concentrated load on the earth's surface) derived for an assumed mechanism of compensation. In this report a method is given for the computation of this function directly from observational data, eliminating the need for assuming a compensation mechanism. (Author)
