Summary: This 2' gravity density grid for Mexico, North-Central America, and the Western Caribbean Sea shows the distribution of about one million terrestrial and marine gravity measurements held in the NGS database as of March 1997. These gravity measurements have been augmented by data contributions from NIMA, and satellite altimeter-derived gravity anomalies computed by Sandwell and Smith (1997). This density grid shows the number of gravity data contained in a 2' x 2' cell. Please note that this coverage grid does not show the 15'x15' EGM96 gravity values used to fill the void areas south of 20 degrees North.

We are particularly grateful to NIMA for their assistance and their data contributions.
