Konopliv, A.S., Borderies, N.J., Chodas, P.W., Christensen, E.J., Sjogren, W.L., Williams, B.G., Balmino, G. and Barriot, J.P. (1993). Venus gravity and topography: 60th degree and order model. Geophysical Research Letters 20: doi: 10.1029/93GL01890. issn: 0094-8276.

We have combined the most recent Pioneer Venus Oribter (PVO) and Magellan (MGN) data with the earlier 1978-1982 PVO data set to obtain a new 60th degree and order spherical harmonic gravity model and a 120th degree and order spherical harmonic topography model. Free-air gravity maps are shown over regions where the most marked improvement has been obtained (Ishtar-Terra, Alpha, Bell and Artemis). Gravity versus topography relationships are presented as correlations per degree and axes orientation. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1993
