A gravity profile across Newfoundland
A gravity profile, with 0.8 km station spacing, has been established along the Trans-Canada highway between Port-aux-Basques and Come-by-Chance, Newfoundland. A modified "one-base" barometric method gave improved elevation results, yielding a standard deviation which is less than one-half...
