Abstract
The region of Canada, which has been covered by gravity surveys (including 1970 data), has been subdivided into 2,923 surface elements of sides of a half-degree along the meridian and approximately equivalent length along the parallels. The gravity anomaly at the center of each element was estimated by fitting a low-order polynomial surface to the free air anomalies within each element. The extreme values are —160 and 96 milligals, with over 85 per cent of the anomalies being in the range of —40 and 20 milligals. About two thirds of all computed anomalies are estimated to have standard deviations less than ±10 milligals.
