Abstract

A motif to write this Atlas is described. The world priority of our Atlas (2017) is in the use of a full set of the gravity aspects (not only the traditional gravity anomalies) together with the newest data combining the best now available global gravity field model and bedrock topography model valid for Antarctica.
