Abstract

ABSTRACT Studies of disturbing effects upon the measurements of gravity along a central microgravity profile in Fennoscandia are investigated. The largest uplift gravity gradient differences expected along the profile occur in the mountainous region separating Norway and Sweden. These differences amount to 0.4 μgal/year/100 km. Disturbing quantities which are investigated across the profile are ocean loading tidal variations, ground water variations, snow cover and sea level water height changes, and the effects of regional meteorological pressure differences across Fennoscandia. Very stringent control of all of the above disturbing quantities must be made in order for a significant secular gravity gradient uplift model to be obtained on a reasonable time scale. Furthermore the determination of short term instrumental drift characteristics need to be improved by an order of magnitude over that obtained in previous experiments.
