A Fast Interpretation Method for Inverse Modeling of Residual Gravity Anomalies Caused by Simple Geometry

Table 5

Numerical results of the present method applied to composite gravity anomaly (in mGal), which consists of a local structure (sphere with 𝑧 = 3 units and 𝐴 = 7 5 0  mGal * units2; profile length = 20 units) and a 2nd-order polynomial of regional structure.
