Book Description
This is the final report of a 1-y LDRD project at LANL. Earth's gravitational field has minuscule local variations that are difficult to observe with any but the most sensitive instruments. These variations are caused by local variations in the earth's crust density such as voids or high density material. Such anomalies can be observed directly by mapping the magnitude of the gravitational field (gravimetry) or by measuring the gradient of the gravitational field (gradiometry). It is believed that gradiometry is potentially superior to gravimetry because measurement and interpretation is simpler and less susceptible to masking by other effects, e.g. accelerations. This method introduces no energy or radiation into the region of interest, can be adapted to moving platforms and the capability to take real-time data over large areas is feasible. Scope of this work was to examine feasiiblity and performance of a fieldable gradiometer using high-{Tc} materials.

Modeling and Error Analysis of a Superconducting Gravity Gradiometer

Category : Cryotrons

Pages : 274
Book Description
The demand for higher accuracy in inertial navigation systems has pushed the development of more accurate accelerometers and gyroscopes. Inertial navigation systems (INS) can now be built with error stemming mainly from the uncertainty of the vertical along the flight path (Savet, 1970). The deflection of the vertical is produced by mass anomalies on the surface of the earth. The error can be corrected by measuring the gravity gradient and using it in the navigation equations. This possibility has generated intensive interest and research in the field of gravity gradiometry. The lower bound of the resolution of room temperature gravity gradiometers is thermal (Brownian) noise. By lowering the temperature to 4 K, the noise level is smaller by an order of magnitude. A comparatively simple gravity gradiometer can be built using some newly developed superconducting technology. (Author).
