ABSTRACT
The project of the gravimetric database reambulation from the collections of the Central Geological Archives set itself the goal of ending the era of gravimetric bases dualism and transferring both databases: gravimetric base and archival gravimetric semi-detailed measurements to the modern frame of gravity reference, consistent with ITGRS/F definitions and realizations. This will strengthen the interpretational potential of gravimetric data and will open the possibility of fully integrating Polish gravity data with international databases of this type, and will also allow for the performance of modern works in relation to the modern gravimetric control network, i.e., in relation to the highest possible precision of the reference definition of gravimetric measurements in the country. Whenever the article refers to the units in which the gravity vector is determined, milliGal [mGal] is used, and the relation to the SI system is as follows: 1mGal = 10–5ms–2 or microGal [µGal] where 1µGal = 10–8ms–2.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The authors would like to thank two anonymous reviewers. We sincerely appreciate all your valuable comments and suggestions, which helped us improve the quality of the manuscript. Special thanks to Mrs Katarzyna Kalinczuk-Stanałowska and Ewa Kałun from the Main Head of Geodesy and Cartography for permanent and always substantive help in issues related to the base gravimetric stations in Poland.
FUNDING
The study was conducted as part of the project "Verification, consolidation of gravimetric databases in the CBDG resource along with the modernization of the structure in the aspect of modern technical requirements and increased functionality – part one: Oil Province of Western Poland", Financed by National Fund of Environmental Protection and Water Management.
