Gravimetrické

Gravimetrické refers to measurements of gravity. This field encompasses a variety of techniques and instruments used to determine the local gravitational acceleration. Gravimetrické measurements are crucial in several scientific and industrial applications.

In geophysics, gravimetrické surveys are employed to study the Earth's subsurface structure. Variations in the gravitational field can indicate the presence of different rock densities, faults, salt domes, and mineral deposits. This information is vital for oil and gas exploration, mineral prospecting, and understanding geological formations. Ground-based gravimeters, as well as airborne and satellite-based systems, are used for these surveys.

Beyond Earth sciences, gravimetrické principles are fundamental to understanding celestial mechanics and the orbits of planets, moons, and satellites. The precise measurement of gravitational forces is also essential for navigation systems, particularly in inertial navigation where accelerometers, a type of gravimeter, play a key role. In fundamental physics, gravimetrické experiments are used to test theories of gravity, such as Einstein's theory of general relativity, and to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The precision required for these experiments often pushes the boundaries of technological development.
