Abstract The gravitational anomalies of simple bodies (sphere, cylinder,
and fault) were used to develop methods for analyzing gravity data in
the frequency domain. The Fourier transforms of the functional
representations of the theoretical gravitational anomalies of these
bodies were obtained. Mathematical formulations were made between
the transform versus frequency relationships and the depths and sizes
of the bodies. Compound gravity anomalies (multiple cylinders, fault
and cylinder) were analyzed, and the transforms were reduced to
transforms of anomalies due to individual simple bodies. The methods
of analyses were applied to theoretical anomalies using numerical
techniques, and the accuracy of both depth and size determinations
was within a few percent in all cases.
