The International Comparison of Absolute Gravimeters ICAG-2005 was held at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), Sèvres, France in September 2005. The organization of ICAG-2005, measurement strategy, calculation and presentation of the results were described in a technical protocol pre-developed to the comparison. Nineteen absolute gravimeters carried out 96 series of measurements of free-fall acceleration g at the sites of the BIPM gravity network. The vertical gravity gradients were measured by relative gravimeters. For the first time the budgets of uncertainties were presented. The g-values for the sites A and B of the BIPM gravity network at a height of 0.90 m are (980,925,702.2 ± 0.7) μGal and (980,928,018.5 ± 0.7) μGal, respectively. This result is in a good agreement with that obtained in ICAG-2001.

Abstract

The International Comparison of Absolute Gravimeters ICAG-2005 was held at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), Sèvres, France in September 2005. The organization of ICAG-2005, measurement strategy, calculation and presentation of the results were described in a technical protocol pre-developed to the comparison. Nineteen absolute gravimeters carried out 96 series of measurements of free-fall acceleration g at the sites of the BIPM gravity network. The vertical gravity gradients were measured by relative gravimeters. For the first time the budgets of uncertainties were presented. The g-values for the sites A and B of the BIPM gravity network at a height of 0.90 m are (980,925,702.2 ± 0.7) μGal and (980,928,018.5 ± 0.7) μGal, respectively. This result is in a good agreement with that obtained in ICAG-2001.
