Brief Description (Abstract):

Description of eighteen gravity bases established by NGRI during 1990-91 around Indian station in Antarctica together with their observed gravity value, elevation, position location, Bouguer anomaly value and free air anomaly form the subject matter of this work. The procedure followed in establishing these bases and their probable accuracy is also described.

Status: Completed

Purpose: As a sequel to the participation of NGRI in the IX Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica, it was realized to launch a program to establish gravity stations around Maitri in collaboration with Survey of India. Accordingly NGRI provided gravity values at selected locations while Survey of India provided the positions and elevations using Global Positioning System. NGRIs interest was to establish gravity stations in Schirmacher Oasis and various Nunataks located south of Schirmacher Oasis and in Wohlthat mountains. During the present survey, a permanent station with bench mark was established at Maitri, near the lake.
