Summary Absolute measurements of gravity have been made at 6 locations ranging from Ottawa, Ont., in southern Canada, to Alert, N.W.T., the world's most northerly permanent settlement, as part of a program to provide scale and level for the Canadian Gravity Standardization Network (CGSN). Except at Resolute, N.W.T., CGSN-74 gravity values, upon which our gravity reductions are currently based, agree with the absolute gravity meter results to within about .25µm/s2. The scale of our CGSN-80 gravity network, upon which our spring-balance type gravity meter scale constants are derived, agrees with the scale defined by the absolute gravity measurements to within about one part in ten thousand.
