additive constant. More recent developments are discussed by Moritz (1990:

It is thus possible to consider the Bouguer reduction as a means of ob-
taining gravity anomalies that are less dependent on height and hence more
representative than free-air anomalies. More precisely, the Bouguer anoma-
lies take care of the dependence on the local irregularities of height. The
isostatic anomalies are, in addition, also largely independent of the regional
features of topography. See also Chaps. 3 and 8.
