A scheme to interpret nonstationary gravity profile is proposed in two steps (1) divide the entire nonstationary gravity profile into piecewise stationary sub-profiles, and (2) apply the scaling power spectral analysis to each sub-profile. The scheme is applied to gravity data along a well studied Nagaur-Jhalawar transect in western India. The profile has been subdivided into three sub-profiles; each sub-profile corresponds to a geological unit. Gravity data delineated a 2-D mid crustal domal structure below the Delhi fold belt and Bhilwara super group. Further, forward gravity modelling is carried out to model the subsurface along the entire profile. ¿ 1999 American Geophysical Union
