Systematic Errors Affecting the Accuracy of High Precision Gravity Measurements

  • Conference paper
Geodesy and Physics of the Earth

Part of the book series: International Association of Geodesy Symposia ((IAG SYMPOSIA,volume 112))

Abstract

The influence of several known disturbing effects on gravity measurements is discussed under the viewpoint of accuracies in the microgal region (Earth tides, soil moisture, groundwater variations, air pressure, the local gravity field).
