DRIFT CORRECTION is applied to eliminate the effect of
spring fatigue of the La Coste instrument. This correction
is derived by double check the starting base station at
appropriate time interval.
Drift + Tidal
GRAVITY DATA PROCESSING
The data obtained from the sites are sent directly to
the base camp and processed.

GRAVITY DATA PROCESSING
DATA REDUCTION
The gravity data reduction consists of two types of correction which are internal
and external correction.
The internal corrections are drift and tidal corrections.
The external corrections are ellipsoid gravity value, free air, bouguer, and terrain
corrections.

GRAVITY DATA PROCESSING
Factors affecting gravity measurement which are not related to geology, need to be
reduced or corrected

ELLIPSOID EARTH GRAVITY reference has to be applied to produce an earth
gravity value at the mean sea level as a function of location latitude.
This reference implies an homogenous mass distribution of the ellipsoid earth
model.
The ellipsoid model in the IUGG 1979 formula is :

GRAVITY ANOMALIES
g theory = g n + g h
gn = Gravity value from Geodetic Reference System
g = Gravity due only to increased distance from the center of mass

FREE-AIR CORRECTION (FAC) is applied to estimate the earth
gravity at certain altitude of an observation above mean sea
level.
The free air correction formula is calculated for average earth
radius at elevation h in meters.
FAC = - 0.3086 h, mgal

GRAVITY ANOMALIES
FREE-AIR ANOMALY
g F A = g o b s e r v a t io n - g t h e o r y

BOUGUER ANOMALY (BA) is the difference between the observation gravity value
(gobs) and the expected earth normal gravity at an observation point.
where the magnitude in the bracket is the expected earth normal gravity.
