Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Geodesy Effect of Topography and Isostatic Compensation Upon the Intensity of Gravity (Second Paper)
The maximum new-method anomaly is at the Seattle stations, Nos. 53 and 56, while the maximum free-air anomaly is ]0216 at station 43 (pikes Peak) and the maximum Bouguer anomaly is at station 45 (gunnison).
An analysis of the above tables indicates clearly that the new method of reduction is much closer to the truth than either the Bouguer or the free-air methods of reduction.
The distribution, according to size, of the anomalies by the three methods of reduction is shown in the following table.
