Scope and Content Note
This series contains material relating to Carl Bowin's collection of gravity data. Materials in the series include data, notes, correspondence, reports, computer printouts, maps, and emails.
Arrangement
Folders in the series are arranged by source code number. See the first folder in the series for an index to the source codes. The first several folders in the series are general information about the Gravity Data Library, and are arranged in the order in which they were received.
Access Restrictions
Several folders in the series may contain proprietary data. Folders that may contain proprietary data contain notations in the folder titles. Access is provided at the discretion of the Archivist.
Separated Material
Gravity data that had been stored with the material in this series prior to its donation to the Archives was sent to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency by Carl Bowin in order to be scanned into a digital format.
