Gravity Data Spreadsheets
January 29, 2021
These gravity data spreadsheets are Microsoft Excel documents containing functions that convert observed meter readings to gravity using the meter calibration table (for LaCoste & Romberg relative-gravity meters), applies a tide correction, calculates and plots drift using the Roman (1946) method, and calculates average gravity differences between each station pair.

Procedures for field data collection, processing, quality assurance and quality control, and archiving of relative- and absolute-gravity surveys
Repeat microgravity surveys carried out using relative- and absolute-gravity meters are useful for identifying changes in subsurface mass, such as the volume of water stored in an aquifer. These surveys require careful field procedures to achieve the part-per-billion accuracy required to measure the small changes in gravity relevant for hydrologic studies. This chapter describes...
