Some people do not understand how heat can be deposited in the gravity field.
Along with its measurements of continental drift, LAGEOS also detected a very gradual change in the gravity field over Canada and northern Europe as the crust continues to rebound — 10,000 years later — from the weight of the massive glaciers that pinned it down during the last ice age.
Over its lifetime of about 20 months, GOCE will map these global variations in the gravity field with extreme detail and accuracy.
They have found that that the loss of ice from West Antarctica between 2009 and 2012 caused a dip in the gravity field over the region.
«They have found that the loss of ice from West Antarctica between 2009 and 2012 caused a dip in the gravity field over the region.»
The contribution from Antarctica adds up to 180 gigatonnes per year, but there is considerable uncertainty here because changes in the gravity field due to Earth's crust rebounding are less well understood over Antarctica than elsewhere.
It reminds me of the story of the Apollo 15 astronauts standing on the surface of the moon and dropping a feather and a hammer to demonstrate Galileo's theory of objects in gravity fields in vacuums.
But there is reason to suspect that gravitational energy is a special case, that measurements of sufficient accuracy might expose a violation of the equivalence principle when energy is stored in a gravity field.
If the observations are confirmed, then it shows that Einstein's theory of general relativity holds even under extreme conditions — in gravity fields produced by objects like the galactic center's black hole, which contains the mass of 4 million suns.
Any asymmetry in the gravity field is attributed to differential rotation and deep atmospheric flows.
You can unlock new attacks, power up your attacks or speed up how fast you move or how long you stay in your gravity field allowing you to move farther while messing with gravity.
Timo: here's another paper about variations in the gravity field across the planet, and here's one about the impact of operator error in ball dropping stations, and here's another on cosmic ray impacts on small round objects in the air.
The contribution from Antarctica adds up to 180 gigatonnes per year, but there is considerable uncertainty here because changes in the gravity field due to Earth's crust rebounding are less well understood over Antarctica than elsewhere.
Mission planners also account for potential variations in the gravity field of Ceres, which will not be known precisely until Dawn measures them.
