Interpretaion on the Tectonics and Characteristics of Altimeter-derived Gravity Anomalies in China South Sea

This paper gives the interpretation on the characteristics of gravity anomalies implied by the tectonic block boundaries and their inner structures using the 2.5'×2.5' free air gravity anomalies derived with satellite altimeter data.The results show that the altimeter-derived gravity anomalies with high resolution are useful for investigating detailed structure of oceanic lithosphere and evaluating resource exploration.
