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

9417446卡特该奖项为位于科罗拉多州博尔德市桌山的NOAA地球科学实验室提供资金，用于为一个绝对重力测量设备提供三年的支持，该设备将供学术基础上的美国地球物理研究团体使用。美国国家海洋和大气局地球科学实验室将安装科罗拉多大学最近购买的新绝对重力仪系统，定期校准该仪器并根据需要保持其维修状态，并在仪器成套设备的现场部署期间向该设施的用户提供现场工程协助。该仪器将主要用于全球海平面、造山、地壳形变、地震以及探测水和岩浆地下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. ***
