Directory Title: Wisconsin Gravity Data for the Prentice Area
Principal Investigator: Professor C. Patrick Ervin

Contributing Organization: Northern Illinois University
Department of Geology
DeKalb, IL 60115

Summary: The gravity station data (899 records) were compiled by Professor Ervin. This data base was received in January 1987. 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). The gravity anomaly computation uses the Geodetic Reference System 1967 (GRS 67) theoretical gravity formula. The data are randomly distributed within the Prentice area of northern Wisconsin.
