Gravity base stations established in Antarctica during the austral summer of 1960-61 are presented and compared with previous results by various observers. The use of two geodetic gravity meters, viz. a LaCoste-Romberg and a Worden has increased the accuracy and resolved several discrepancies. Ties were made between Christchurch, New Zealand and the United States Antarctic Stations at McMurdo Sound, South Pole, Byrd, and Hallett, as well as satellite stations in West Antarctica and the New Zealand Scott Base at McMurdo ound. Station descriptions and observed gravity values are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
