| Popis: | Geoinformation Issues, 2009, Vol. 1, No 1, pages 19-32 This article describes the establishment of an alpine gravimetric calibration baseline in Poland’s Tatra Mountains and the development of a methodology for performing static gravimeter calibration on that baseline. This baseline was established in response to the recent rise in geodynamic research in mountainous areas and the related need to calibrate the gravimetric scale used in such gravimeter research to a high degree of accuracy. The fact that the environmental conditions of such an alpine gravimetric calibration baseline differ considerably from those observed in flat terrains made it necessary to study the impact which rapid changes in atmospheric pressure and environmental temperature may exert on the performance of gravimeters used in such survey. It was also important to study how the method by which the instruments were transported (by automobile, cable car, or on foot) affected their performance. The project led to the establishment of an alpine gravimetric calibration baseline and yielded a set of recommendations for how to proceed with scaling the gravimeters at such a baseline. |
