| Abstract: | Precise gravity networks and profiles have been established in three locations in Canada for the purpose of measuring possible gravity changes associated with seismic events. All measurements were made using two LaCoste and Romberg model D gravimeters. The standard deviation of a single observed gravity difference ranges from 50 to 120 nm/sec2. The precision of the measurements appears to depend mainly on the amount of exposure to vibration during transportation. A preliminary comparison between results of different instruments reveals unexplained discrepancies, and calibration tests show that the D meter scale factor varies significantly with either dial reading or reset screw position or both. |
