Abstract
A weight function method has been developed for computing gravity anomalies at higher elevations, starting from given surface anomalies. Numerical values of weights have been derived such that the sum of (weight) x (suface gravity anomaly value at each grid point in a domain) will give the gravity anomaly at a point directly above the middle of the relevant domain. The method has been applied to deduce gravity anomalies at an elevation of 46.7 km above Vening Meinesz' one-dimensional profile No. 17 across the East Indies and also those at an elevation of 27.8 km over a square portion of Sweden.
