Manipulation of gravity anomaly data using fourier series

Extensive gravity anomaly coverage is required in formulating an accurate gravity perturbation vector. Stokes´ and Meinesz´s integral formulas are presently used in calculating the gravity vector. However, a two-dimensional Fourier series approach to data representation is presented which efficiently functionalizes the data so as to minimize the computational complexity involved in determining the gravity perturbation vector. Also discussed is the hypothesis of using a Satellite Field gravity model to reduce the raw gravity anomalies to a finer residual gravity anomaly field which has not been mathematically modeled.
