Relative surveys were conducted using a Zero Length Spring, Inc. Burris relative-gravity meter. Absolute-gravity surveys were conducted using a Micro-g LaCoste, Inc. A-10 absolute-gravity meter. The effect of solid Earth tides and ocean loading were removed from the data prior to network adjustment. Non-linear instrument drift was removed by evaluating gravity change during repeated measurements at one or more base stations. Vertical gradients between the relative- and absolute-gravity meters were measured at each station where both types of measurement were collected to correlate the measurements of the two instruments. Vertical gradients were measured using a relative-gravity meter and tripod set to the height of the absolute-gravity meter. Relative-gravity differences and absolute-gravity data were combined using least-squares network adjustment, as implemented in the software GSadjust (https://code.usgs.gov/sgp/gsadjust). Data are provided for 20 stations collected over 11 discrete surveys.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P14NKDR2", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.65c17704d34ef4b119ca6757.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_65c17704d34ef4b119ca6757", "keyword": ["New Mexico", "New Mexico Water Science Center", "Rio Rancho", "Sandoval County", "Southwest Gravity Program", "USGS:65c17704d34ef4b119ca6757", "geophysics", "geoscientificInformation", "gravimeter measurement", "gravitational field (earth)", "hydrogeology"], "modified": "2025-06-25T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-106.7406, 35.2000, -106.6013, 35.3425", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Repeat microgravity data from Rio Rancho, New Mexico, 2019-2023"}
