Eotvos unit

Eotvos unit
(E)
   a unit used in geophysics to measure the change in the acceleration of gravity with horizontal distance. One Eotvos unit equals 10-9 Gal per centimeter or 10-4 Gal per kilometer. In proper SI terms, the Eotvos unit equals 10-9 per second squared (s-2). The unit honors the Hungarian physicist Roland von Eötvös (1848-1919).
