Keywords: high-precision gravimetric observations, relative gravimeter, atmospheric pressure, delta factor, luni-solar tide.
Аnnotation: Obtaining the most accurate and reliable gravimetric data has always been and remains the main task of gravimetry. The purpose of the authors’ long-term research and this work, in particular, is to determine interference in gravimetric data caused by various external influences and to find ways to take them into account or eliminate them. The proposed method of iteratively taking into account pressure and tidal correction made it possible to increase the accuracy of single gravimetric readings to ±2 µGal. The main instruments for many years of research were relative automated gravimeters of the CG Auto-grav series from Scintrex, on the example of which the main results obtained in the work are shown. In gravimeters CG-5 and CG-6, the instrumental registration accuracy is 1.0 and 0.1 µGal, respectively. However, it cannot be said that a single reading will give the value of the gravity increment with the specified accuracy. Relative gravimeters, in addition to the desired value, also record the device’s response to inertial influence, changes in meteorological factors and its own hardware errors, which cannot be eliminated without additional information. Under the conditions of the Zapolskoye geophysical observatory in the Vladimir region, continuous gravimetric, seismic and meteorological measurements were carried out for eight and a half months. The data obtained made it possible to analyze the possibility of partially taking into account the influence of the atmospheric pressure and determining the correct values of delta factors for 20 groups of waves with periods of 48 days or less. The minimum duration of the gravimetric series to obtain delta factors of waves with periods from 0.02 to 3.38 cycles per day was also estimated at six months.
