        Gravity anomalies are an expression of deviations from the              
        Earth's gravitational potential as defined by the spherical             
        harmonic expansion of the geopotential coefficients.                    
        Gravity anomalies are applied in GEODYN II on free air                  
        anomalies located in specific areas on the earth's surface.             
        There areas are defined by blocks. (master blocks) bounded              
        by lines of latitude and longitude.                                     
        A master block is an area bounded by lines of latitude and              
        longitude which may be subdivided into blocks of equal size             
        (in terms of boundary lengths in degrees of latitude and                
        longitude) each of which has the same a-priori value of                 
        gravity anomaly.                                                        
        GEODYN II divides the master blocks into 3 subdivisions.
