Abs. Gravimetry in Taiwan Using FG5 224
Results of observed gravity B12 at CMS Date μGal Std. error: 3.4 μGal
Uncertainty Evaluation The expanded uncertainty U e = k c u c k c =2.0, 95% level of confidence, u c = 3.2 μμGal, U e = 2.0 × 3.2μGal = 6.4μGal

summary of FG5 observations ( unit : μ Gal )
Abs. gravity survey( Ⅱ ) Simultaneous and continuous gravity, GPS and sea level observations were made at Mazu, Kinmen, Penghu, Lanyu and Hsinchu for at least 3 days GPS, gravity and tide stations are either co-located or separated by a short distance Taiwan Mainland China
FG5 S/N 224 was used 50 drops a set, 30-minute set interval, 48 sets a day All environmental corrections, except ocean loading effect, were made The Sumatra earthquake occurred while measuring gravity at Lanyu Absolute gravity measurements
Date μGal Data of Lanyu
Amplitude and phase of M2 tide Observed 3.7 m,-31º 2.2 m, 58º 2.7 m, 7º 0.9 m,-2º 0.8 m,-133º The M2 wave propagates to China Seas from the Pacific Ocean Mainland China Taiwan
The amplitudes of M2 wave from gravity and GPS observation are larger than those from modeled results The characteristics of ocean loading effect along the southeast China coasts and Taiwan Strait are different from those in the Pacific Ocean east of Taiwan Amplitude and phase of M2 gravity Observed and Modeled
