Description

Abstract:

Gravity grids of the Northern Territory consist of spherical cap Bouguer anomaly gravity and derived grids interpolated from a compilation of 218,155 ground gravity stations acquired by the Northern Territory Government, Commonwealth Government, and Industry since the 1950's. More than 75% of the Territory is covered by gravity stations at a spacing of 4km or better, with historical 11km spaced stations covering the remaining area. The Bouguer anomaly grids have been calculated using the AAGD07 formulae with a density value of 2670 kg/m3 and are presented in um/s2.
The input dataset, including longitude, latitude and spherical cap Bouguer anomaly, are provided as a comma separated text file as well as GIS files in MapInfo and ESRI format.

Data Quality

Lineage:The Generic Mapping Tools gridding algorithm was used to create the base gravity grid. Derived products were created using intrepid Geophysics two dimensional Fourier filtering.

Five Grids are provided as follows:
1. The spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid: NT_Gravity_2020_BA_GDA94DD_GRD.ers
2. The first vertical derivative of the spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid: NT_Gravity_2020_BA_1VD_GDA94DD_GRD.ers
3. The spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid with a first order polynomial trend removed: NT_Gravity_2020_BA_residual_GDA95DD_GRD.ers
4. The residual spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid upward continued 250m: NT_Gravity_2020_BA_residual_UC250m_GDA94DD_GRD.ers
5. The first vertical derivative of the upward continued spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid: NT_Gravity_2020_BA_UC250cm_1VD_GDA94DD_GRD.ers

The input datasets are provided with longitude, latitude and spherical cap Bouguer anomaly values as follows:

1. Comma separated text files:
NT_Gravity_2020_Pts_GDA94DD_CSV.csv

2. MapInfo format files:
NT_Gravity_2020_PTS_GDA94DD_TAB.DAT
NT_Gravity_2020_PTS_GDA94DD_TAB.ID
NT_Gravity_2020_PTS_GDA94DD_TAB.MAP
NT_Gravity_2020_PTS_GDA94DD_TAB.TAB

3. ESRI shape format files:
NT_Gravity_2020_PTS_GDA94DD_TAB.dbf
NT_Gravity_2020_PTS_GDA94DD_TAB.prj
NT_Gravity_2020_PTS_GDA94DD_TAB.shp
NT_Gravity_2020_PTS_GDA94DD_TAB.shx

Positional Accuracy:Accuracy of the height measurements can vary from centimetres to over 10m while spatial accuracy may vary from centimetres up to approximately 250m in the oldest data.
Older data is being progressively replaced. Spatial and height accuracy are generally in the centimetre range for modern (post 1990) surveys.
