Abstract
The fifth in the series of International Comparisons of Absolute Gravimeter
s (ICAG) was held at the Bureau International des Folds et Measures (BIPM)
in November 1997. Fifteen absolute gravimeters participated in the comparis
on. The mean gravity value obtained at station A (0.9 m) at the BIPM was fo
und to be 980 925 707.8 mu Gal with a standard uncertainty of 2.8 mu Gal. T
his is consistent with the results obtained in previous comparisons at this
site. Conclusions based on the analysis of the present results and proposa
ls for future activities are presented.
