The majority of these data are spaced at about 1.6 km (1 mile), but three
closely spaced profiles were measured in the Portland area across several faults. To obtain a 1.6 km grid of data points would require about 5120 gravity stations. To date we have collected 2710 stations. Including the preexisting data points, the total number of stations is 4156, and complete regional coverage is about 80% at this time. Ancillary Keywords
