Revealing buried tectonic structures in the Gulf of Mexico using SWOT-derived marine gravity

Open access0 citations

Abstract

This repository provides the primary gridded data products generated in the study "Revealing Buried Tectonic Structures in the Gulf of Mexico Using SWOT-Derived Marine Gravity". The datasets are derived from wide-swath SWOT data and represent key results used in the analysis of seafloor tectonic structures in the Gulf of Mexico. The repository contains the following GRD files: North component of residual geoid gradient East component of residual geoid gradient Full marine gravity anomaly Residual gravity anomaly Innermost-zone gravity effect Vertical gravity gradient (VGG) These datasets can be used for studies of marine gravity field characterization, tectonic structure mapping, and geophysical interpretation. Detailed processing procedures and scientific applications are described in the associated publication.
