    <descript>
      <abstract>Gravity data were collected from 2022 through 2024 to provide more detailed data for geophysical profile modeling of the Midcontinent Rift System and associated structures. This data release provides the complete Bouguer anomaly gravity data for 256 new gravity stations to supplement existing data and replace erroneous existing data.</abstract>
      <purpose>The purpose is to release these data for public use. These data were acquired to aid in geophysical modeling of the Midcontinent Rift System and its associated structures.</purpose>
      <supplinf>File contains data available in comma separated value (.csv) format. The user must have software capable of opening and viewing a .csv file.</supplinf>

        <procdesc>Gravity data in this study were acquired using a Lacoste and Romberg G-model gravimeter. A Trimble Geo-7x GNSS unit was used to measure the horizontal and vertical position of each station in the KP0 and KP2 profiles. Profile KP1 vertical positions were sampled from one-meter digital elevation models (USGS, 2019) using horizontal locations from the Trimble Geo7x. The location information was processed using Trimble Pathfinder software. Absolute gravity base stations in Calumet, Houghton, and Ontonagon, Michigan were used for absolute control. The error levels in these published data are expected to be less than 0.1 mGal.</procdesc>

      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Factory calibration constants are provided by Lacoste and Romberg for each meter to make the conversion to milligals. Theoretical gravity was calculated for each station at sea-level and is based on the Geodetic Reference System of 1967 (International Association of Geodesy, 1971) for the shape of the spheroid. The gravity data were corrected for variations in earth's tide (Longman, 1959) using python script 'tidegravity' (Brady and Leeman, 2018) and meter drift using a linear drift between successive absolute base station readings. The International Gravity Standardization Net 1971 (IGSN 71) (Morelli, 1974) is the datum for the observed gravity data. The free-air anomaly was calculated by subtracting the theoretical gravity from the observed gravity and adding the free-air correction using standard formulas (Blakely, 1995). The simple Bouguer anomaly was calculated by subtracting the Bouguer correction from the free-air anomaly to account for the mass effect of rocks between the station and sea-level using a rock density of 2.67 g/cm3 (e.g., Blakely, 1995).</procdesc>

        <procdesc>Software based on Plouff's (1977) gravity correction program was used to calculate standard inner and outer zone terrain corrections. The inner zone correction extends 895 meters from the gravity station and is based on publicly available 10-meter digital elevation models. For the outer zone correction, multiple resolution digital elevation models were used to calculate the correction from 895 meters to 166.7 kilometers. The inner and outer zone terrain corrections were added to the simple Bouguer anomaly to calculate the complete Bouguer anomaly.</procdesc>
