Evaluation of Robert Sterneck's historical gravity pendulum measurements in the Czech territory
Original language description
Robert Daublebsky von Sterneck, bohemian aristocrat, astronomer, geophysicist and geodesist, devoted part of his live to pendulum gravity measurements. More than one hundred Sterneck's pendulum gravity observations were performed between 1889 and 1895 on the Czech territory (i.e Bohemia, Moravia and Czech Silesia). Until present, thorough evaluation of the accuracy of these measurements was not accomplished. On the basis of original Sterneck's field books the station locations were investigated and their true positions identied. For this purpose, all available original hand-written notes were translated and often even puzzled out. The observed values have been compared with the actual knowledge of the Earth's gravity field.
