what is known remedy for geologic noise wherein the variable thickness of overburden presence of non economical minerals in the overburden or overlying layers and topographic noises ground surface varies in elevation
mathematical corrections
types of survey
reconnaissance over 10>100km
focused mapping 1-10 km
high resolution mapping <1km ex: microgravity surveys at 60-60m intervals
directly measures small differences in the strength of gravity accuracy: 0.1mgal common used lacoste&romberg gravimeter scintrex
gravity meter or gravimeter
who formulated the international gravity formula to account for the variation of gravity with latitude
clairaut 1743
must be supplied by equipmemtn manufacturer to convert instrument reading to observed gravity, gobs
instrument calibration factor
effect of temperature changes and creep on the spring of the gravimeter
instrument drift correction
due to elevation variations; 0.3086 mGal per meter elevation difference; if station is above sea level; if below
free air correction
due to mass difference between station and sea level 0.4185
The adjustment to a measurement of gravitational acceleration to account for elevation and the density of rock between the measurement station and a reference level.
bouguer correction
when to use gravity method?
- large and medium geological structures and ancient suture zones
- to locate sed basins and possible hydrocarbon traps
- hydrogeological investigations to determine the geometry of potential aquifers
- engineering and geotechncal applicantions for the location of cavities and voids
differences in base readings are distributed among the readings during the day
diurnal variation
equivalent to latitude correction
geomagnetic correction
