Topo/Bathy data are used in several gravity related equations.

The USGS has a collection of software, however it dates of 1997. This Open-File Report (97-725) is named Potential-Field Geophysical Software for the PC, version 2.2 and supersedes Open-File Report 95-77, A bibliography of some geophysical computer programs, databases, and maps from the U.S. Geological Survey, 1971-1994.

The Colorado School of Mines also has software libraries.
