Charleston Peak gravity calibration loop, Nevada
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:59823
A mountain-type calibration loop has been established in southern Nevada to test the performance and check the calibration of gravity meters used in the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations. The observed gravity values are on the IGSN 71 datum and range from about 979,265 mGal at Charleston Park (elevation 7540 ft) to 979,541 mGal at Indian Springs (elevation 3115 ft), a difference of 275 mGal. Five stations have been established between Indian Springs and Charleston Park at gravity intervals of about 50 mGal. Geomorphic evidence indicates the area is reasonably stable with regard to possible short-term (<50 years) gravity changes.
