Summary: isoreg.bin - standard grid containing sea level isostatic 
regional gravity data for the U.S.  Grid interval = 8 km. 
Projection is Albers (central meridian = 96 degrees West; base 
latitude = 0 degrees North).  Sea level depth of compensation = 
30.0 km, density contrast at depth = 0.35 g/cm^^3. Values are in 
milligals.

Data Records: The data are binary and are in 4 byte integers. The 
integer value must be divided by 100 to get the actual value with 
two digits to the right of the decimal point.

Original File = 4,045,520 bytes
                  650 columns X 386 rows  =   250,900 data
                  4 bytes / data point    = 1,003,600 bytes
The data are stored row wise starting in the upper left corner.

NOTE: The binary files isores.bin, isoreg.bin, and isotop.bin 
were converted from the ASCII files on the Geophysics of North 
America CD-ROM by Ted Habermann. The data values were converted 
to 4 byte binary integers with two digits to the right of the 
decimal point. These integers must, therefore, by divided by 100 
to recover the original data.
