PROCEDURE AND TECHNIQUE OF FIELD OPERATIONS Gravity survey Gravity measurements are

PROCEDURE AND TECHNIQUE OF FIELD OPERATIONS

Gravity survey

Gravity measurements are made in

compliance with the technical and methodical instructions. The basic guiding
methodical document is «Instructions for gravity exploration», М., 1980.
A gravity survey is conducted according to the following scheme:
1. The field gravity traverse grid is to be created.
2. The field traverse grid is to be tied the State traverse grid.
3. Accuracy of determining the gravity at the traverse stations is 1.5-2 times higher than at the survey ones.
4. Observations at the traverse grid stations are, mainly, made according to a central or two-stage system.
5. Observations over the survey grid are, generally, made according to a single-stage procedure, based on traverse gravity stations.
6. Instrumental drift is taken into account for each track length.
7. To assess the survey quality, independent check measurements are made amounting to 5-10%.
8. To assess the quality of the gravity map construction, measurements are made in the interpolation lines with
an interval twice smaller than that for survey lines.
As the materials of field measurements become available, the current processing of the gravity survey materials is performed (every day). In includes:
calculation of the observed gravity values;
account for the normal field;
introduction of corrections for height and attraction of the Bouguer plate;
calculation of gravity anomalies (Bouguer)
In-office processing of the materials is performed after the completion of field operations.
It includes:
calculation of topographic corrections;
calculation of gravity anomalies with different densities of the Bouguer plate;
compiling of the catalog of traverse and survey stations;
construction of final maps and diagrams of gravity anomalies;
execution of different transformations and geological interpretation;
preparation of the report.
Слайд 9

Topogeodetic operations are carried out with the view of horizontal-vertical positioning

Topogeodetic operations are carried out with the view of horizontal-vertical positioning

for gravity observation stations. They are performed in the State system of elevation coordinates. The technical guides for operations are:
- instruction for topographic-geodetic and navigation provision of geological exploration, 1997;
- instruction for gravity exploration, 1980.
Elevations and coordinates are determined using sets of two-frequency GPS-instrumentation Trimble R7 in differential kinematic mode with post-processing. The base stations are located at the field base of the party and within the survey area.
The current processing of field materials is made every day at the field base. It includes:
1) Check of the quality of field measurements after the transfer of data from the field equipment to the computer.
2) Input of differential corrections.
3) Transmission of non adjusted coordinates and elevations from the base stations to the field observation ones.
Assessment of the quality of obtained vectors and the misclosure of closed polygons.
In-office processing of the materials is performed after the completion of field operations. It includes:
1) Tie of the base stations with the stations of the State geodetic network and with each other.
2) Tie of the field gravity observation grid with the base stations and the triangulation ones.
3) Assessment of the survey quality from the results of control measurements.
4) Compiling of the catalog of coordinates and elevations of observation stations.

Topogeodetic operations

Metrological provision of operations

Gravimetry instrumentation
Every year, before starting the surveys, the gravity meters
should be subject to a metrological calibration at the gravimetry
test site № 5 in Saint Petersburg.
The accuracy of field measurements is ensured by compliance
with the instructions and recommendations for execution
of field operations.
GPS-instrumentation for horizontal-vertical positioning
The GPS-receivers Trimble R7 to be used should be verified
at CJSC NPP «Navgeokom» (Moscow)
and accepted for the use as working measuring means.
