Abstract

The value of the vertical gradient in any given point can be determined using Haalck’s method. The vertical gradient is the sole element of the Eötvös-tensor, which cannot be measured by the Eötvös torsion balance; however, the Haalck-method enables its calculation through interpolation. Eötvös-tensor measurement fluctuation between two adjacent points must be linear in order for the Haalck-method to work. This paper sought to analyze this assumption of linearity.
