New Bouguer Gravity Maps of Venezuela: Representation and Analysis of Free-Air and Bouguer Anomalies with Emphasis on Spectral Analyses and Elastic Thickness
Figure 11
Observed admittance values computed from the FAA and topography profiles in Figure 9 for low wavenumbers, where . Observed (solid circles) and theoretical (solid curves) admittance for the (a) Flexure model, where is the effective elastic thickness, and (b) Airy isostatic model, where is the mean thickness of the crust as a varying parameter of the model. Admittance errors were computed from the coherence [46]. The best fitting curve for Mérida Andes was the simple flexure model of the lithosphere with km.
