Gravimetric Point

The following article is from The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979). It might be outdated or ideologically biased.

Gravimetric Point

a point on the earth’s surface where the acceleration of gravity has been measured and the geodetic coordinates, including elevation, have been determined. In conducting a gravimetric survey, a network of reference points of various categories, as well as of ordinary points, is created. Repeated measurements with highly accurate gravimetric instruments are made on the reference gravimetric points. The initial reference gravimetric point for all gravimetric surveys in the world is a point in Potsdam (German Democratic Republic).

For topographic correction, the methodology proposed by Kane [34] and Nagy [35] is considered, in order to obtain a grid of topographic correction, which through a sampling operation assigns the correction value to each gravimetric point. Finally, the Bouguer anomaly values are triangular interpolated.
