Cape York Complete Spherical Cap Bouguer geodetic

Gravity data measure small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. This Cape York Complete Spherical Cap Bouguer geodetic is a complete spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid for the Cape York Gravity Survey, Qld, 2009 (P200940). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 200940 for the geological survey of QLD. The grid has a cell size of 0.0075 degrees (approximately 820m). The data are given in units of um/s^2, also known as 'gravity units', or gu. A total of 9244 gravity stations were acquired to produce this grid.
