Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
| Title | gPhoneX gravimeter |
| Description | The gPhoneX is a continuously operating relative gravimeter, providing high frequency measurements of gravity within the Absolute Gravity Laboratory at Herstmonceux. |
| Type Of Material | Improvements to research infrastructure |
| Year Produced | 2023 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | Initial assessments of the data are in progress to enable through knowledge of this very different gravity tool for the AGL. |
| Title | GAP software |
| Description | Updates to existing software which has been inoperable since 2013 to allow analysis of the absolute gravity data with far more flexibility and speed than otherwise available |
| Type Of Material | Data analysis technique |
| Year Produced | 2024 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | The data has yet to be run through the software but it will significantly impact processing of the absolute gravity dataset. Further changes may be tested to incorporate gPhoneX data. |
| Title | WS-GP2 Dataset |
| Description | This is a dataset of soil moisture, rainfall and meteorological measurements |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2023 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | In particular the soil moisture and rainfall measurements will provide essential information on the assessment of hydrological influence around the Absolute Gravity Laboratory at Herstmonceux. |
| Title | gPhoneX Dataset |
| Description | This is relative gravity data from the gPhoneX gravimeter. Measurements are being recorded at 1-5 Hz to provide continuous information on changes to gravity measurements. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2023 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | This data proves critical information on the understanding of gravity measurements within the laboratory. The data will, when assessed with other datasets, provides a key to understand high-frequency changes and those made by environmental changes (such as hydrology) on gravity data at Herstmonceux. |
