gravimetry
41Earth science — (also known as geoscience, the geosciences or the Earth Sciences), is an all embracing term for the sciences related to the planet Earth [ [http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=earth%20science Wordnet Search: Earth science] ] . It is… …
42Sea level — For the sea level change associated with the current episode of global warming, see current sea level rise. For other uses, see Sea level (disambiguation). This marker indicating the sea level is placed on the path from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea …
43Physical geodesy — [ NOAA)] Physical geodesy is the study of the physical properties of the gravity field of the Earth, the geopotential, with a view to their application in geodesy.Measurement procedureTraditional geodetic instruments such as theodolites rely on… …
44Seismometer — Seismometers (from Greek Seism the shakes and Metro I measure ) are instruments that measure and record motions of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, nuclear explosions, and other seismic sources. Records of… …
45Accelerometer — An accelerometer is a device for measuring acceleration and gravity induced reaction forces.Single and multi axis models are available to detect magnitude and direction of the acceleration as a vector quantity [http://www.analog.com/en/technical… …
46Anomaly — An anomaly is any occurrence or object that is strange, unusual, or unique. In the following particular contexts it may refer to:Astronomy* Eccentric anomaly, intermediate value used to compute the position of a celestial object as a function of… …
47Gravimeter — A gravimeter or gravitometer, is an instrument used in gravimetry for measuring the local gravitational field. A gravimeter is a type of accelerometer, except that gravimeters are susceptible to all vibrations including noise, that cause… …
48Bouguer anomaly — In geodesy and geophysics, the Bouguer anomaly (named after Pierre Bouguer) is computed from a free air anomaly by computationally removing from it the attraction of the terrain, the Bouguer reduction .In case where the effects of terrain are… …
49Vertical deflection — The vertical deflection (deflection of the plumb line, astro geodetic deflection) at a point on the earth is a measure of how far the direction of the local gravity field has been shifted by local anomalies such as nearby mountains. (Here gravity …
50Thermogravimetry — (also knows by acronym TG and obsolete names thermo gravimetry, thermogravimmetry) is a branch of physical chemistry, materials research, and thermal analysis. It is based on continuous recording of mass changes of a sample of material, as a… …
