Abstract
Within the cooperative Turkish-German project on earthquake prediction research a gravimetric network along the western part of the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ) between Adapazari and Bolu was set up. Applied observation and adjustment procedures are described and results of the first two observation campaigns (1988 and 1989) are given. Significant gravity changes up to 450 [nm sec-2] between northwestern and southeastern stations are obtained. Vertical crustal movements or other physical processes however must be excluded as reasons. On the contrary we assume that the gravity changes reflect not well understood instrumental problems.
