A Gravity Data Library: Organization and Effective Utilization.

Abstract

An outline of the organization of a digital data file of world-wide gravity information in use at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is presented. This file was developed to provide an efficient and cost-effective method for retrieving and displaying gravity data for any selected part of the globe. The techniques are also applicable to other types of data files. To aid the possible adoption by others of the techniques described, background information and philosophy of file organization is also presented. (Author)
