Gravity anomaly models with geophysical interpretation of the Republic of Croatia, including Adriatic and Dinarides regions

Models of gravity corrections and anomalies are created and distributed over the territory of the Republic of Croatia, including the Adriatic and Dinarides regions. Published models cover the study area between 42.0°N < φ < 46.6°N and 13.0°E < λ < 19.5°E with a 1^′ × 1^′ resolution. Distributed models include gravity corrections and anomalies of normal gravity, atmosphere, free air, Bouguer, terrain, complete Bouguer and topographic–isostatic according to the Airy–Heiskanen model. A high-resolution digital elevation/bathymetry model was prepared from SRTMv3.0 and GEBCO2019 models. It was then used for the computation of topographic and topographic–isostatic gravity effects using rectangular prisms with constant crustal density. Gridding of the scattered gravity data was performed with the Kriging interpolation method using complete Bouguer anomalies by implementing the remove–grid–restore methodology. Developed models were interpreted providing insights into the topography-reduced (anomalous) Earth's gravity field reflecting the variations in mass/density distribution within the crust and upper mantle over the study area.
