residual gravity map
residual gravity map Usually a map of the Earth's gravitational acceleration remaining after allowing for all distorting effects. It is known as a Bouguer anomaly map when a regional field (usually a gradient), attributable to gravitational sources within the lower crust or basement, has been removed. See SMITH'S RULE.
