Calibration shifts in a LaCoste‐and‐Romberg gravimeter: comparison with a Scintrex CG‐3M
Authors Daniele Carbone and Hazel RymerThe reliability and ruggedness of LaCoste‐and‐Romberg gravity meters has meant that their use has extended over recent years from gravity mapping to the investigation of small gravity changes (> 10 μGal) with time. When using the instrument at the limit of its capability, limitations become apparent. Some instruments drift more than others and some are prone to excessive tares. However, with regular servicing these problems are minimized. Here we demonstrate clear evidence for calibration changes of the order of 1000 ppm for LaCoste‐and‐Romberg meter G513, which, for gravity differences of over 50 mGal, represents a highly significant induced error of over 50 μGal. Data collected over 15 years using nearly 4000 mGal of the 7000 mGal range of the instrument illustrates that long periods of stability may be interspersed with periods lasting several months while the calibration changes by up to 0.1%. This is comparable with the calibration drift of a new Scintrex CG‐3M instrument, although the process causing the change may not be the same.
