Abstract:
The increasing importance of terrestrial gravimetry requires a stable reference system that reflects the precision achieved by modern gravimeters. Over the past decade, the International Association for Geodesy (IAG) has developed a system for achieving accurate, homogeneous, long-term global monitoring of the Earth’s gravity field, while harnessing the potential of current absolute gravity measurements. The webinar will be focused on addressing the concepts around the International Gravity Reference System (IGRS) and its materialization, the IGRF, established from Resolutions N ° 2 (2015) and N ° 4 (2019) of the IAG. Subsequently, the regional impact of the establishment of the IGRS / IGRF will be analyzed through the Argentine-German Geodesy Observatory (AGGO) as the IGRF reference station.
