Directory Title: Gravity Data for Egypt
Principal Investigator: Professor Samir Riad, et. al.

Contributing Organization: Assiut University Egypt

Summary: The gravity station data (71 records) were gathered by various governmental organizations (and academia) using a variety of methods. This data base was received in March 1989. Principal gravity parameters include Free-air Anomalies and Simple Bouguer Anomalies (no terrain correction applied). The observed gravity values are referenced to the International Gravity Standardization Net 1971 (IGSN 71) and the gravity anomaly computation uses the Geodetic Reference System 1967 (GRS 67) theoretical gravity formula. The spatial resolution of the data is randomly distributed within the boundaries of Egypt.
