PREDICTION BY EÖTVÖS´ TORSION BALANCE DATA IN HUNGARY

Abstract

Possible geodetic applications of Eötvös´ torsion balance gravity gradient data were investigated in the present study. As a practical example gravity data have been predicted for two test areas in Hungary with the method of least squares collocation. By evaluating the results with gridded data interpolated from gravity measurements the standard deviation of differences ± 1-1.7 mGal was found which proves the usability of such gradient data for geodetic applications.
