CALIBRATION METHOD FOR GRAVITY GRADIOMETERS BY MEANS OF TWO ROTATING CYLINDERS

https://doi.org/10.21122/2220-9506-2011-0-1-124-126

Abstract

The problem of maintaining a constant gravitational gradient in a relatively large volume of space is considered.  This  provides  a  well  defined  input  signal  to  a  gravity  gradiometer  for  the  purpose  of  its calibration. A comparison between gravitational gradients created by straight cylinders and spheres is also provided.
