Comments on the Formulae of Eötvös Corrections for Airborne Gravimetry

doi:10.11947/j.AGCS.2015.20130330

Abstract

Abstract: A detailed analysis is made on the different former and existing formulae of Eötvös corrections for airborne gravimetry in view of the inconsistency of their uses by many scholars at home and abroad. A numeral comparison between the different formulae is accomplished. The problems from the use of approximate formulae by our country's scholars are pointed out. And the necessity of using rigorous formulae is emphasized.

Key words: airborne gravimetry, Eötvös correction, Thompson formula, Harlan formula, rigorous formula
