gsolve.reductions.anomalies.compute_free_air_anomaly(absolute_gravity, normal_gravity, free_air_correction)[source]#

Calculate the free air anomaly.

The free air anomaly is calculated using the formula:

\[FAA = AG - (NG + FAC)\]
Where:
  • FAA = Free Air Anomaly

  • AG = Absolute Gravity

  • NG = Normal Gravity on the ellipsoid surface

  • FAC = Free Air Correction

Parameters:
absolute_gravityArrayLike

Absolute gravity in mGal, typically from the gsolve network adjustment.

normal_gravityArrayLike

Gravity at the ellipsoid surface in mGal.

free_air_correctionArrayLike

Free Air Correction in mGal at the station elevation.

Returns:
free_air_anomalyndarray

The free air anomaly in mGal.
