The Estimation of Free-Air Anomalies

Abstract

A prediction model of point and/or mean free-air anomalies, based on point values, is proposed. It relies on the concept of least-squares collocation with parameters. The model parameters are the two regression parameters of a linear model, which assumes a linear correlation between free-air anomaly and elevation. Particular emphasis is put on the role of the topography in mountainous areas. (Author)
