Current Status of Gravity Measurements in the Republic of Croatia with the Fundamental Gravity Network Finalization Project

The Fundamental Gravity Network (FGN) is foundation for all national gravity measurements. This network consists of 42 points: 6 absolute gravity points (0. Order Gravity Network) and 36 relative gravity points (I. Order Gravity Network). Further densification of FGN will be carried out by the lower order networks (II. Order Gravity Network). Fundamental gravity points should be homogeneously spaced over the whole state. In some large countries the distance between gravity points can be more than few hundred kilometres. Levelling connection of the absolute and first order gravity points at the national levelling network benchmarks was not performed. Also, the position of gravity points in respect to existing geodetic network stayed unknown. Quality positional and height definition of gravity points is necessary for calculating different corrections, which are needed for processing gravimetric measurements. By implementation of the FGN Finalization Project, along with already finalized projects, the modern gravity foundation for the Republic of Croatia will be established.
