Expressions for the Bondi mass and mass flux far from an isolated system are derived by using an arbitrary Newman–Penrose null tetrad in the conformally related space-time. A numerical tool for relating the near field of an isolated gravitationally radiating system to the far field is developed, so that the mass of such a system can be computed and some simple examples are described.
