Frequently asked questions about LOGG and gravity measurement

Q1. Earthquakes are frequent in Taiwan—how is the LOGG absolute gravity value kept accurate?

A: Absolute gravity observations are repeated periodically at the permanent pier; control charts are produced, anomaly sources analysed and the absolute value updated regularly. The continuous record of the superconducting gravimeter is also used to study relative gravity variations caused by environmental change, which provides additional verification.
