Abstract: Nomograms are generated to determine the top and bottom
boundaries of a geological structure using the residual gravity anomalies of a
vertical cylinder. The nomograms are estimated using
the corresponding axis values (x3/4 and x1/4) of the
¾ gmax and ¼ gmax , which are determined from the residual
gravity anomaly. In addition, a small computer code
based on equations representing the nomograms
provides simple and fast interpretation. The
amplitude coefficient can be easily determined due to the top and bottom depths
of the vertical cylinder are known from the interpretation of the residual
gravity anomaly. The validity of the method is approved with synthetic data
sets and then applied to observed data set.
