Initial Base Station Reference

Time (minutes)
Station 3 measurement is 66.822 mG. Its value relative to the base is +0.542
Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
With tide and drift rate of -0.0012 mG/min the difference of station 3 relative to the base is increased.
The following equation can be used to compute the tide and drift correction:
g (t ) Relative Difference (mG) ( 0.0012mG/min ) .t (min)

Back to the gravity lab Stewarts simplification of the model and the impact of edge effects
Stewart uses different conversion factors to convert inputs in different units to obtain
g=
t or t = 130 g 130
where t is in feet
g plate = 2Gt
Stewart has solved it using a density = -0.6 gm/cm3. He has also included the factor which transforms centimeters to feet so that the user can input t in units of feet. g is in units of milligals.
What are the implications of the negative density contrast on the resulting gravity anomalies?

Open up the upper pane, set the plan view depth; specify a pattern. Note how the upper pane fills out. Do the same for the bedrock. Adjust plan view depth again Change range on Plan View scale.
