An Absolute Gravity Facility for Global Geophysical Studies:Participation by NOAA-NOS

该奖项为位于科罗拉多州博尔德桌山的NOAA地球科学实验室提供了为期三年的绝对重力测量设备支持，该设备将用于以学术为基础的美国地球物理研究团体。NOAA地球科学实验室将容纳科罗拉多大学最近获得的一个新的绝对重力仪系统，定期校准仪器并在需要时保持其维修，并在仪器包的现场部署期间为设备的用户提供现场工程援助。该仪器将主要用于全球海平面、造山、地壳变形、地震以及探测地下水和岩浆运动的基础和应用研究。* * *

9417446 Carter This award provides funding to the NOAA Geosciences Laboratory, Table Mountain, Boulder, Colorado for three years of support of an absolute gravity measuring facility which will be operated for the use of the academically based U.S. geophysics research community. The NOAA Geosciences Laboratory will house a new absolute gravity meter system recently acquired by the University of Colorado, periodically calibrate the instrument and keep it in repair as needed, and provide field engineering assistance to users of the facility during field deployments of the instrument package. The instrument will be used primarily in basic and applied studies of global sea level, mountain building, crustal deformation, earthquakes, and the detection of underground movement of water and magma. ***
