For each of these regions three high quality color images are provided, these include both the ascending and descending deflections of the vertical, as well as the computed gravity anomalies. Also provided for each region are plots of the Geosat ground track coverage (both ERM and GM) and ETOPO5 seafloor bathymetry.
