Computer-Processed Geophysical Atlas of Digital Data for the East Coast Margin of the United States from Surface and Spacecraft Data.

Abstract

This atlas comprises maps for the East Coast margin of the United States of free-air gravity anomaly, geoid anomaly, regional geoid anomaly, residual geoid anomaly, magnetic crustal anomaly, and bathymetry. Data from surface measurements, GEOS-III and MAGSAT Satellites, GEM-9 spherical harmonic coefficients, and SYNBAPS bathymetry profiling systems were utilized. Estimated error maps for the geoid data are not included because for the marine areas, these data are uniformly of very low error. The data are presented in three sets of maps of northern, central, and southern portions of the margin. (Author)
