Abstract

We present software for calculating gravity acceleration at points of levelling networks in Slovakia. The chosen approach uses an existing detailed gravimetric database and a back-calculation (reconstruction) of the gravity acceleration from the Bouguer anomaly map. We analyse the accuracy of this approach on a sample of independent geodetic points as well as in-situ control measurements.
