Charters Towers complete Bouguer geodetic 2 and 4km station spacing

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

This Charters Towers complete Bouguer geodetic 2 and 4km station spacing is a complete Bouguer anomaly grid for the Charters Towers Gravity Survey, Qld, 2008 (P200740). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 200740 for the geological survey of QLD. The grid has a cell size of 0.0074 degrees (approximately 796m). The data are given in units of um/s^2, also known as 'gravity units', or gu. A total of 14161 gravity stations were acquired to produce this grid.

Statement

This Charters Towers complete Bouguer geodetic 2 and 4km station spacing is a complete Bouguer anomaly grid for the Charters Towers Gravity Survey, Qld, 2008 (P200740). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 200740 for the geological survey of QLD. The grid has a cell size of 0.0074 degrees (approximately 796m). The data are given in units of um/s^2, also known as 'gravity units', or gu. A total of 14161 gravity stations were acquired to produce this grid. The complete Bouguer gravity anomalies were calculated by applying terrain correction (Bullard C - which accounts for the undulations of the surrounding topography) to the spherical cap Bouguer anomaly point data of Charters Towers Gravity Survey, Qld, 2008 (P200740). These terrain corrections were calculated using software from INTREPID Geophysics. The Intrepid algorithm utilises concentric rings subdivided into cells (Direen, 2001) to calculate the terrain correction. The data were then gridded using a gridding technique provided by the INTREPID Geophysics software package. The processed data are checked by GA geophysicists using standard methods for assessing quality to ensure that the final data are fit-for-purpose. Details of the specifications of individual surveys held in the Australian National Gravity Database (ANGD) can be found in the Second Edition of the Index of Gravity Surveys (Wynne and Bacchin, 2009).
