ABSTRACT:
A method of making for an area a map or a representation of regional variations in the position of the geoid which have an amplitude less than about 1 m. and are caused by density variations in the underlying sea floor. The map or representation is intended primarily for use in the determination of part areas of the sea floor with increased probability of deposits of natural resources, the density of which part areas distinguishes from that of the surroundings. The method comprises
