Abstract

In order to evaluate the quality of the land gravity data in the latest global gravity database V23, the authors chose the gravity data of eight blocks with a total area of 1 330 000 km2 to compare and analyze, and these blocks involved seven countries, including the United States, Peru, Ireland, South Africa, Kenya, Australia, and China. Based on the free-air gravity anomaly data of the latest global gravity database V23, the authors obtained the calculated Bouguer gravity anomaly using the gravity correction methods within the pure spherical coordinate system in these eight blocks. Then, the correlation coefficients between the measured Bouguer gravity anomaly and the calculated Bouguer gravity anomaly were calculated by the correlation analysis method in these eight blocks. Finally, through comprehensive analysis of the features of these correlation coefficients and differences between the measured Bouguer gravity anomaly and the calculated Bouguer gravity anomaly in these eight blocks, the quality of the gravity data of these eight blocks was evaluated in the latest global gravity database V23. The results showed that the latest global gravity database V23, released by Scripps Institution of Oceanography, integrated a large number of the ground or airborne gravity data measuring in an earlier era, and the newly surveyed ground or airborne gravity data may not be integrated into the database. The quality of land gravity data is relatively high in the areas with a large number of older ground or airborne gravity data, otherwise it is low in the zones with a lower gravity working degrees.
