Airborne gravity data has been collected by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) under the Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) project and is available along the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico. For this study we obtained a set of absolute gravity data derived from full-field gravity at altitude/elevation. We used the data to derive free-air gravity anomalies to establish gravity on the geoid. For spatial interpolation we used the kriging method to estimate gravity on the geoid in any location and kriging of the difference between gravity on the ellipsoid of reference and the geoid. Various kriging methods were used for evaluation of errors calculated in this study. The mean precision of the predicted values is around 1.23 cm, a very good result for coastal regions, which traditionally have sparse gravity data sets.]]></p></abstract>

La Encuesta Nacional Geodética (NGS por sus siglas en inglés) del proyecto Gravedad para la Redefinición del Datum Vertical Americano (GRAV-D, por sus siglas en inglés) ha recogido datos de gravedad en el aire para las costas del Golfo de México. Para este estudio obtuvimos un conjunto de datos de gravedad absoluta derivados de gravedad completa de campo en altitud/elevación. Usamos los datos para derivar anomalías de gravedad de aire libre con el fin de establecer gravedad en el geoide. En la interpolación espacial usamos el método de kriging para estimar la gravedad en el geoide en cualquier lugar y kriging de la diferencia entre gravedad del elpsoide de referencia y el geoide. Varios métodos de kriging se usaron para evaluar los errores calculados en este estudio. La precisión media de los valores predicho ande alrededor de 1.23 cm, un resultado muy bueno para regiones costeras, que tradicionalmente tienen conjuntos de datos de gravedad dispersos.]]></p></abstract>
