Abstract
When processing the results of an airborne gravity survey flown in the Arctic at flight heights of 2000 to 3000 m, the authors encountered conditions, when the values of the free-air anomaly of gravity exceeded the values taken from the anomaly map, with a trend towards “heavier” values. The formula for calculation of the vertical gradient as a function of the latitude of the locality has been refined. The tentative calculations reported in the paper also indicate that a free-air gravity anomaly above the mountainous areas will contain additional positive systematic components, since only the effect of the vertical gradient of the normal gravity field is taken into account here, and the flight’s height during an airborne gravity survey, above a mountainous area, should be held constant, otherwise it would be necessary to take into account additional systematic biases, obtained in different flights, which are caused by the different values of the vertical gradient at different heights.
