Terrestrial gravity data and comparisons with satellite dataFigures that demonstrate the state of terrestrial gravity coverage, and comparisons between satellite derived gravity field and terrestrial gravity data are presented. It is shown that only a few areas of the world have information accurate enough for geodesy and geophysics. A gravity field mapping space mission is recommended.
