本文由资深重力勘查专家雷受旻撰写,系统回顾了中国重力改正方法从20世纪50年代至今的演变历程。文稿梳理了不同阶段(石油普查、高精度矿产勘查、区域重力调查)采用的改正技术,重点讨论了纬度改正、高度改正、中间层改正、地形改正及均衡改正的公式与物理意义,指出许多历史术语和方法已不合时宜。作者强调,重力改正应聚焦于消除参考椭球体、地形质量和补偿质量三类场源干扰,建议采用“3344”简化框架(3类场源、3个公式、4项改正、4种异常),并呼吁业界对规范和教科书“删繁就简”,以适应当前教学与实践需求。
This paper, authored by Lei Shoumin, a senior expert in gravity exploration, systematically reviews the evolution of gravity correction methods in China from the 1950s to the present. It traces the technical developments through three major stages: petroleum exploration (1950s–60s), high-precision mineral exploration (1960s–70s), and regional gravity surveys (post-1978). The paper discusses key corrections including latitude (normal gravity), elevation, Bouguer (intermediate layer), terrain, and isostatic corrections, explaining their physical meanings and formula evolutions. It points out that many historical terms and methods have outlived their usefulness and calls for simplification. The author proposes a "3-3-4-4" framework (3 source types, 3 formulas, 4 corrections, 4 anomalies) to streamline the conceptual system. The paper advocates for consensus among practitioners and educators to update textbooks and standards accordingly.
