NSW Bouguer Gravity
Pseudocolour image of Bouguer gravity with a histogram-equalised colour stretch. Cooler colours indicate lower Bouguer gravity values and warmer colours represent higher values. The intensity layer is the Bouguer gravity greyscale image enhanced by a 3x3 sun filter with the sun illumination set at 45 degrees elevation and 90 degrees azimuth. Bouguer gravity compensates for variations in latitude, 'free-air' elevation and Bouguer correction (assuming a crustal density of 2.67 T/m³).
Attention: Please ensure your version of the Airborne or Airborne + Ground NSW gravity merges contains the date ‘2024-10-30’ in their filename. An update was made to remedy location errors in the initial release. Apologies for any inconvenience.

- Statement
- This edition of the NSW statewide gravity merge is a compilation of best available airborne and ground data, comprising roughly 80% airborne and 20% ground. AIR1027 and AIR1030 comprise the airborne data, with the ground data clipped from Geoscience Australia’s ANGD dataset. These data were gridded with a cell size of 500x500 metres before being corrected for isostasy following the method outlined in Spence and Musgrave (2006). The units for the data are μms⁻².
