Description
Summary:In 2006 Lantmäteriet (the National Land Survey of Sweden) bought an absolute gravimeter (Micro-g Lacoste FG5) together with a relative spring gravimeter (Scintrex CG5). Since then the absolute gravimeter has been used in the Nordic Area, on a consultancy basis in Serbia as well as in the international comparison ICAG2007 in Luxembourg. The main reason behind the investment is to determine better models for the post glacial rebound in the Nordic area (Fennoscandia), which eventually will make it possible for us to maintain our reference systems for a longer time. The purpose of this paper is to present our experiences from owning and using an absolute gravimeter as well as our long term plans for the future. TS 5F – GEOID
