DE GRAAF-HUNTER’S MODEL EARTH ANOMALIES

摘要

Several of these new theories have been advanced. One of these, The Model Earth with Smoothed Topography, proposed by J. de Graaff-Hunter, is the object of this thesis. The attempts to do the following:n(1)tExplain the Model Earth theory.n(2)tDemonstrate a computational method for; a) the model earth elevations, and b) the model earth gravity anomaly.n(3)tAnalize the relationship between and compare the model earth anomaly with an isostatic anomaly and two types of free air anomalies (reduced to mean elevation rather than to the geoid).nDraw any legitimate conclusions which may be found in the body of the thesis.
