Abstract

Gravity observation by means of the superconducting gravimeter #11 has been started at Matsushiro Seismological Observatory, Japan Meteorological Agency. This gravimeter is the one that used to be located at Kakioka, Japan. The new gravimeter site is inside a tunnel where the environmental conditions are very stable. The gravimeter is bottom mounted to eliminate the disturbances from local ground motions. Absolute gravity measurements were carried out to calibrate the scale factor of the superconducting gravimeter. Preliminary analysis of the gravity data shows that the noise level of the gravimeter at seismic bands has been improved with its move to Matsushiro.
