INTRODUCT IONThere were two actions taken by the International Associatio& ofGeodesy at the 1971 Moscow meeting of the International Union ofGeodesy and Geophysics which have worldwidesignificance in the use ofgravity for geodetic, geological and geophysical investigations. One wasthe adoption of a new geodetic reference system which resulted in a significant modification of the International Gravity Formula that had beenin use since 1930 for defining the theoretical sea level va)e ofgravity.The other, having two related parts, was the adoption of a newvalue for the Potsdam international gravity datum and an internationalgravity standard based in large measure on ten modern absolute gravitydeterminations. In combination, these actions made all former gravityanomaly values obsolete and incompatible in varying amounts, dependingprimarily on latitude and to a lesser degree on gravitational attraction,with anomaly values computed under the old (1930) reference system, theold Potsdam datum value and the various gravity standards that had beenin use.The purpose of this paper isfourfold:(1) to present the changein theoretical gravity values occasioned by the adoption of the newreference ellipsoid(Geodetic Reference System, 1967), which will bereferred to as GRS 67; (2) to evaluate the reliability of the gravitystandard and Potsdam datum correction incorporated in the values of theInternational Gravity Standardization Net (IGSN 71) prepared by Morelliet al.(1974) and now being adopted by most countries for gravity controland the calibration of gravimeters; (3) to establish the difference!4;-9
