Anybody interested in space, gravity, climate ?

I clicked on the words "gravity map" in the above article

(links are not underlined in some of these articles, but

the color of the words indicates they are links) and got :

which took awhile to load on my old setup, but there

was another link there to a *world* gravity map :

(the above is an enlarged view) that shows higher and 

lower gravity fields. I don't know if I missed it or if the 

16 feet per second falling speed was not discussed  ..
