Summary
This dataset includes gravity observations collected on the Coconino Plateau, Arizona, from 2015 to 2019 and reductions that were used to arrive at the gravity residual reported in the associated publication (Wildermuth, 2022). Relative-gravity surveys were carried out using a ZLS Burris relative-gravity meter. Absolute gravity values were taken from the closest NGS stations and relative-gravity differences were combined with nearby absolute gravity values using a least-squared network adjustment, as implemented in the software Gravnet (Hwang, C., Wang, C., Lee, L., 2002. Adjustment of relative gravity measurements using weighted and datum-free constraints. Comput. Geosci. 28, 1005–1015). Additional information about the network adjustment [...]

Data pre- and post-processing were carried out using GSadjust (https://code.usgs.gov/sgp/gsadjust).

Data were collected to attempt to identify the existence of enhanced porosity zones near geologic features on the Coconino Plateau that are commonly modeled as having such zones. These data were collected under the control of the Southwest Gravity Program, U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, VA, http://go.usa.gov/xqBnQ
