Preliminary Bouguer anomalies of North-East Greenland

Abstract

The geodetic survey of northern and north-eastern Greenland, executed by the Geodetic Institute, Copenhagen, was completed during the summer of 1980, when ground control for use in the photogrammetric mapping was established in the area from Kronprins Christian Land in the north to Bessels Fjord at 76°N on the east coast. As an integrated part of the survey operations, the establishment of the regional gravity network in northern Greenland, initiated in 1978 (Forsberg, 1979; Weng, 1980), was continued using two La Coste & Romberg gravimeters. The heights of the gravity stations were determined using Doppler satellite positioning, triangulation or precise barometric leveIling.
