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.
