Gravity Earth (GFILT)
Use the Gravity Earth option to apply a gravity earth filter.
Gravity Earth Filter dialog options
|
Depth to top of layer |
Specify the depth to the top of the layer, in ground units. |
|
Depth to bottom of layer |
Specify the depth to the bottom of layer, in ground units. |
Application Notes
Use the Gravity Earth filter to calculate the gravitational field of the horizontal earth layer located between two user-defined depths. This filter is designed for use with GM-SYS.
When r = 0:
Where:
|
G |
Gravitational constant. |
|
z1 |
Depth to the top of the density layer, in ground units, of the earth. Must be positive for layers above the calculation level. |
|
z2 |
Depth to the bottom of the density layer, in ground units, of the earth. Must be positive for layers above the calculation level. |
Wavenumber Domain Variable Definitions
|
The following variables are used in the wavenumber domain: |
||
|
k |
Wavenumber increment, used to depict a radially symmetrical variable. |
Where: np: number of points cs: cell size |
|
μ |
X-component of the wavenumber. |
|
|
v |
Y-component of the wavenumber. |
|
|
r |
Radial component of the wavenumber. |
|
|
θ |
Angular (polar) component of the wavenumber. |
|
Ground unit refers to the survey ground units defined in your grid (e.g., metres or feet). Ground units may be left undefined.
