Abstract
This report describes the results of a software design study for an airborne gravity measurement system. The software is intended for data acquisition and monitoring aboard a fixed-wing aircraft over oceanic areas, and for the postflight processing required to compute gravity along a flight track. Various requirements of the postflight processing system are discussed. A method to compute gravity from airborne measurements is outlined; as some quantities can be derived from more than one measurement, alternative algorithms, to be used in cases of poor quality or missing data, are given.Keywords
