The multiquadric terrain equation reproduces topography which is much closer to the real one than the digital terrain model. Also, terrain correction calculated by using the multiquadric terrain model shows a better result than that of digital terrain model. The accuracy of terrain correction depends on the accuracy of terrain data. Therefore, determination of the mean elevation of a terrain compartment by taking simple average of the maximum and minimum terrain height is not recommended. To obtain more accurate mean elevation of a compartment, a smaller scale topographic map such as 1:5,000 map is desirable for reading terrain data. But 1:25,000 map can be used for practical use. The pattern size of 250m×250m compartment is appeared to be suitable for near correction(D-F range), and 5㎞×5㎞ size for far correction. The computer program developed in this research can be used in all cases of surface and subsurface gravity surveys.
