High Precision Tidal Gravity.
Abstract
This report discusses recent progress on the programme of 'high precision tidal gravity'. The programme is now primarily concerned with the field measurement of tidal gravity and a description of present experiments and preliminary results is given. The preliminary results show that a measurement accuracy in amplitude for the principal tidal harmonics O sub 1 = and M2 of + or - 0.2 % is achievable and that phases may be determined to + or - 0.1 deg. This is approaching an order of magnitude improvement over existing measurements. Keywords: Earth Tides; Tidal Gravimeters; Ocean Tide Loading; Great Britain.
