Sea Gravity Phase, Oceanographic Equipment Evaluation Range, San Francisco, California,
Abstract
The report concerns an ocean gravity meter test range established in April and May 1962 by means of a cooperative survey by the Coast and Geodetic Survey of the U. S. Department of Commerce and the U. S. Naval Oceanographic Office. This range was established to facilitate operational tests and evaluations of continuous reading sea gravity meters. The range consists of 127 underwater gravity stations spaced over a 700 sq. mile area in the approaches to San Francisco, California. This report summarizes the operation and data obtained during the survey including a number of gravity ties made between existing stations in the San Francisco area. Tables of gravity data and bathymetry and gravity contoured charts of the range are included. (Author)
