Dmitry Dubyago, expert in theoretical astrophysics, astrometry, and gravimetry.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This has been revealed by a brand new satellite technique, called space gravimetry.

Gravimetry is the measurement of the strength of a gravitational field.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This essentially revealed the use of gravimetry as a method of silent navigation in US submarines.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Microgravimetry is a rising and important branch developed on the foundation of classical gravimetry.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The increased accuracy made possible by Kater's pendulum helped make gravimetry a standard part of geodesy.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A gravimeter or gravitometer, is an instrument used in gravimetry for measuring the local gravitational field.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In gravimetry e.g., the primary grid may be 50 m, but is switched to 100 or 500 meters in distances of about 5 or 10 kilometers.

- Hydrometry: the measurement of specific gravity
- (gravimeter) hydrometer: a measuring instrument for determining the specific gravity of a liquid or solid
- (gravimetric) hydrometric: of or relating to hydrometry
- (gravimetric) Of or pertaining to measurement by weight; Of or pertaining to measurement of the local gravitational field
- (Gravimeter) An instrument used in gravity surveying to measure changes in the value of gravity over an area.
- (Gravimeter) A geophysical device that has been particularly useful in finding salt domes. Actually, it is a weight on a spring. The spring gets longer in high-gravity areas and shorter in areas of gravity-minus. Magnetism helps the oil geologist understand its measurements
- (gravimeter) a weighing device or instrument of sufficient sensitivity that is used to register variations in the weight of a constant mass when the mass is moved from place to place on the earth and thereby is subjected to the influence of gravity at those places
- (Gravimetric) A proces of manufacturing gas blend that uses the weight of each gas added to control the concentration of the final mixture.
- (Gravimetric) microprobe Sensor available in the science lab on Deep Space Nine (DS9: "Playing God").
