La réduction de Fay tient seulement compte du fait que les stations de mesures A et la station de base B ne sont pas situées à la même distance à partir du centre de la terre. La couche plane [...] de sol et de roche située entre la station de mesure A et la station de base B exerce une attraction additionnelle à une station A située à une plus grande élévation que B [...] Une correction faisant intervenir la couche horizontale infinie de terrain comprise entre les niveaux A et B est appelée réduction de Bouguer. [...] Cette correction est négative, parce qu'elle doit être retranchée pour les stations plus hautes que le niveau de base B et ajoutée pour les autres. En effet si l'altitude croît, g est augmenté à cause d'une couche latérale de terrain plus épaisse et la correction est dans le sens inverse. 3, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9duction%20de%20Bouguer
