Abstract

In this paper , we proposed a new method to build covariance matrix of gravity anomaly based on the spherical harmonic expansion of gravity anomaly , and then combined with the measured gravity data we can realize the fast and high precision interpolation and extrapolation of gravity anomaly according to the principle of least squares and the remove-compute-restore technique. The feasibility of this method is proved through the simulation experiment.

Keywords: Covariance matrix of gravity anomaly, least squares collocation, the remove-compute-restore technique.
