Abstract

A limited number of available NAVOCEANO gravimeters are being made available for U.S. academic scientific research. The high cost of purchasing gyrostabilized gravimeters and the increasing need for scientists to have access to these instruments has led to a collaboration between the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, and the U.S. Navy Office of Naval Research.A joint committee established by the funding agencies coordinates all activities among users regarding requirements and schedules for gravimeter use. Use of the gravimeters entails a government‐approved overhead charge tied to the length of time that a gravimeter is used in the field, with the funds used to support gravimeter operations.
