Surface Ship Gravimeter Data obtained by Shirase during JARE Cruise

The data were processed at the Ocean Research Institute and reduced to the free-air gravity anomaly data according to the extented MGD77 format. The data tapes were sent to JODC (Japan Oceanographic Data Center) of JHD (Japan Hydrographic Department) and NGDC NOAA.

Requests for data tape copy should be addressed to NIPR or JODC or NGDC. As for cruise explanation, see Fukuda et al.(1993): Determination of the gravity field around Antarctica using satellite altimeter data and surface gravity data -A review of recent studies -, in Recent Progress in Antarctic Earth Science.
