Abstract
The system of terrain corrections uses an electronic digital computer for much of the calculation. A new method using a desk calculator is suggested for terrain effects arising from close‐in topography. The present system covers a square area 40 km by 40 km, with the station at the center. A selected group of corrections that were compared with conventionally computed ones agree within 0.1 mgal. The speed of the operation using the Datatron 220 computer is considerably faster than the conventional method of computing.
