Gravity Variations Over Earth Much Bigger Than Previously Thought
Description: A joint research team has created the highest-resolution maps of Earth's gravity field to date -- showing gravitational variations up to 40 per cent larger than previously assumed. They used detailed topographic information obtained from the US Space Shuttle. This is a world-first effort to portray the gravity field for all countries of our planet with unseen detail.
