The relationship between gravity and bathymetry in the Pacific Ocean
Abstract
The study of the earth's gravitational field has provided one of the principal methods for the determination of the structure of the outer layers of the earth. A project has been undertaken which involves the systematic examination of the relationship between the earth's gravity field and topography in each of the earth's major ocean basins. The first part of the project was concerned with the compilation, reduction, and analysis of the available surface-ship gravity and bathymetry and satellite-derived geoid data in the oceans of the earth. The present paper has the objective to summarize the principal results which have been obtained so far in the Pacific Ocean.
