Gravity Observations 09.0 deg E. to 37.9 deg W. Along the Equator.

Abstract

The report presents free air gravity values and computed free air anomalies obtained on an equatorial traverse from 09 degrees 00 minutes E to 37 degrees 56 minutes W. It is the second of a series of reports presenting the gravity data to be used in deriving a 'ground truth' calibration grid for comparison with topographical details of the world oceans obtained by a radar altimeter in an earth satellite scheduled to fly in 1974.
