Free-Air Anomaly (Moving Platform)
Use the Moving Platform Gravity > Corrections by Steps > Free-Air Anomaly menu option (AGFREEAIR GX), to calculate the free-air anomaly by subtracting Total Correction (see the Application Notes below) from measured values of absolute Gravity from the L+R meter in mGal (Gabs).
Calculate Free-air Anomaly dialog options
Input absolute gravity channel |
The input absolute gravity channel name. The default name is "AbsGravity". Script Parameter AGFREEAIR.INCH |
Input Eotvos correction channel |
The Eotvos correction channel name. Script Parameter AGFREEAIR.EOTVOSCORCH |
Input Vacc correction channel (optional) |
The Vacc (Vertical Accelaration) correction channel name. If this field is left blank, no Vacc correction is applied. Script Parameter AGFREEAIR.VACCCORCH |
Input Tide correction channel (optional) |
The tide correction channel name. If this field is left blank, no tide correction is applied. Script Parameter AGFREEAIR.TIDECORCH |
Input Latitude correction channel |
The latitude correction channel name. Script Parameter AGFREEAIR.LATCORCH |
Input Free-air correction channel |
The free-air correction channel name. Script Parameter AGFREEAIR.FACORCH |
Output Free-air anomaly channel |
The total corrected free-air anomaly channel name. The default name is "Free-air". Script Parameter AGFREEAIR.OUTCH |
Application Notes:
The Total Correction includes the Eötvös, Vertical Acceleration (optional), Tide (optional), Latitude, and Free-air corrections:
Total Correction = Vertical Acceleration Correction (optional) - Free Air Correction - Eötvös Correction + Latitude Correction - Tide Correction (optional)
To obtain the Free-air anomaly, the Total Correction is subtracted from measured values of absolute Gravity from the L+R meter in mGal (Gabs).
