A weighted least-square adjustement is applied to the set of measurements obtained from absolute gravimeters AG(k) at Stations j, gjk, with standard uncertainty ujk, in order to evaluate the gravity value Gj at each Station j, as well as the offset Dk for absolute gravimeter AG(k), as explained in Section 6.2 "Second and final solution" of the Final Report).
|
| The degree of equivalence of absolute gravimeter AG(k) is given by a pair of terms: Dk and Uk, its expanded uncertainty at a 95 % level of confidence, both expressed in µGal. |
The linkage of EURAMET.M.G-K2 comparison results to CCM.G-K2 comparison results are made by means of four laboratory absolute gravimeters that have been used in both comparisons, and the linking process is described in the EURAMET.M.G-K2 Final Report.
The linkage of SIM.M.G-K1 comparison results to CCM.G-K2 comparison results was made using the FG5X-216 gravimeter through EURAMET.M.G-K2. Tthe linking process is described in the SIM.M.G-K1 Final Report Section 7.3.

The comparison was performed in 2013
In general, each participant communicated gravity measurements for three of the fifteen stations used
Raw measurements from Absolute Gravimeters reported by the participants in EURAMET.M.G-K2 are given in Table 4 on page 8 of the Final Report.
The comparison was performed in 2015.
Raw measurements from Absolute Gravimeters reported by the participants in SIM.M.G-K1 are given in Table 5 on pp. 7-8 of the Final Report.
The comparison was performed in 2016.
