Abstract

The downward continuation method has been used to obtain a new approach for rapid gravity interpretation of Bouguer anomalies attributed to finite vertical cylinder. The problem has been solved mathematically together with a theoretical test. Accordingly, master curves have been prepared to facilitate the application of the method. The procedure to calculate the depths to the upper and lower surfaces, mass of unit length and radius of the causative body has been outlined. An interpreted example of gravity anomaly of Kharga Oasis area, Western Desert of Egypt is given.
