2.5-min Isostatic Gravity Grid for the United States

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: December 18, 2025 | Last Modified: 1999-01-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
The 2.5-min isostatic gravity data set was produced by regridding the 4-km residual isostatic gravity grid of the U.S. The isostatic residual gravity grid was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey using an Airy Heiskanen model. Local compensation was computed with a depth of 30.0 km to the root for sites with sea level elevations and a density contrast of 0.35 g/cm3 across the bottom of the root.
