Résumé<br />

● Before we can start interpreting gravity gravity anomalies we need to make sure we’re comparing apples to apples…<br />

● Free­Air correction<br />

■ Assume there’s nothing but vacuum<br />

between observer and reference ellipsoid<br />

■ Just a distance correction<br />

● Bouguer correction<br />

■ Assume there’s a constant density plate between observer and reference ellipsoid<br />

■<br />

■<br />

Remove the gravitation attraction due to the mass of the plate<br />

If you do a Bouguer correction you must follow up with a free­air correction Δg<br />
