Course content
Observation methods in relative gravimetry. Gravimetric surveying in the area of Castle Nečtiny. Determination of three dimensional positions of gravimetric points. Adjustment of a gravimetric network. Evaluation of gravity anomalies and disturbances. Reduction of observed gravity for topographical and atmospheric effects. Tidal effects. Creation of gravimetric maps and databases. Solution of the gravimetric quasi-geoid. Precise leveling: estimation of orthometric and Molodensky normal heights.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Collaborative instruction, Lecture with visual aids, Field trip
  • Practical training (number of hours) - 40 hours per semester
  • Contact hours - 12 hours per semester
  • Preparation for laboratory testing; outcome analysis (1-8) - 10 hours per semester
prerequisite
Knowledge
Pre-requisities for this course are as follows: KMA/GEN2, KMA/VP1, KMA/MFG, KMA/VP2.
learning outcomes
Participants of this course gain practical experiences with surveying and processing of gravity data. They learn how to operate a relative gravimeter and estimate three dimensional positions of gravity stations. Applications of gravity data in geodesy, namely estimation of the gravimetric quasi-geoid and physically-defined heights, are also tested within this course.
