Gravity Measurements on Law Dome from 1964 to 1968

1964-1968 gravity measurements compiled from Law Dome in Antarctica. The data was collected by the Australian Antarctic Division and the hard copy is archived in their records store.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial variation in gravity measurements across Law Dome to study subsurface geology.
• Correlate gravity data with elevation or ice thickness measurements for mass balance studies.
• Use the temporal coverage from 1964 to 1968 to examine potential changes in the gravitational field over that period.
• Integrate these historical gravity point measurements with modern satellite-derived gravity models for validation.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 5-year period from 1964 to 1968.
• Focuses on a geographically distinct region, Law Dome in Antarctica.
• Compiled and archived by an authoritative national Antarctic program (Australian Antarctic Division).

Limitations

• The exact number of measurement points (rows) and specific data columns are unknown.
• Data is from a single, localized region, limiting broader geographical analysis.
• The dataset is temporally stale, with the last update recorded in 1968.
