Abstract
Since 1984 the ABC-profiles with gravity sites in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile are repeatedly observed. Three major campaigns in three year intervals, with six or more La-Coste Gravimeters used in parallel, were conducted. The total number of more than 2000 observations on about 60 sites is now analysed in view of time-dependent changes in gravity. In this paper we introduce the design of the network, give performance and results of single campaigns and finally the changes in gravity between the campaigns are determined and discussed.
