The Central-Eastern Mediterranean region is known to be a complex area due to the interaction of four tectonic plates, namely Arabia, Africa, Anatolia and Eurasia, and by the presence of an ancient oceanic crust in the Herodotus and Ionian Basins. The analysis of the available literature highlights that the distribution of the freely available geophysical data (i.e. seismic, gravity and magnetic observations) is quite disparate. In this framework, high-resolution global gravity field models, such as XGM2019e, mainly based (offshore) on satellite data, can be profitably used as a uniform dataset to study, in a coherent way, large regions.

岩石圈结构确定和分析的重力：中东地中海案例研究

由于阿拉伯、非洲、安纳托利亚和欧亚大陆四个板块的相互作用，以及希罗多德和爱奥尼亚盆地中古老洋壳的存在，中东部地中海地区是一个复杂的地区。对现有文献的分析强调，免费提供的地球物理数据（即地震、重力和磁观测）的分布非常不同。在此框架中，主要基于（海上）卫星数据的高分辨率全球重力场模型，例如 XGM2019e，可以有利地用作统一数据集，以连贯的方式研究大区域。
