Evaluation of terrestrial and airborne gravity data over Antarctica – a generic approach

Abstract

The AntGrav project, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) has the main objective to homogenize and optimize Antarctic gravity field information. Within this project an evaluation procedure is needed to inspect all different kind of gravity field surveys available in Antarctica. In this paper a suitable methodology is proposed.
