The data are given in units of um/s^2, also known as 'gravity units', or gu. A total of 8109 gravity stations were acquired to produce this grid. Three processes are required to correct the gravity observations for the effects of the surrounding topography: (1) a Bouguer correction (Bullard A), which approximates the topography as an infinite horizontal slab; (2) a correction to that horizontal slab for the curvature of the Earth (Bullard B); and (3) a terrain correction (Bullard C), which accounts for the undulations of the surrounding topography. The complete spherical cap Bouguer gravity anomalies were calculated by applying terrain correction (Bullard C) to the spherical cap Bouguer anomaly point data of West Amadeus Basin Gravity Survey, 2014 (P201481). These terrain corrections were calculated using software from INTREPID Geophysics. The Intrepid algorithm utilises concentric rings subdivided into cells (Direen, 2001) to calculate the terrain correction. The terrain corrected data were then gridded using a gridding technique provided by the INTREPID Geophysics software package.

Brief description

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 West Amadeus Basin Gravity P201481 CSCBA267GU is a complete spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid for the West Amadeus Basin Gravity Survey, 2014 (P201481). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 201481 for the geological survey of NT. The grid has a cell size of 0.00471 degrees (approximately 499m).
