Sažetak
The paper depicts concise historical overview on gravity measurements on the territory of the Republic of Croatia, as well as on going activities in the field of fundamental gravity works and, in the last part, outlines planned activities in same field. Although first gravimetric measurements on the territory of the Republic of Croatia where relative measurements performed between 1887 and 1894 in the area of Rijeka city, first activities on establishment of the Fundamental Gravity Network were done just about 1950s by the VGI (Military Geographical Institute), when Croatia was part of former Yugoslavia. In course of mentioned works, the First Order Gravity Network of Yugoslavia was established with connection of central station (Belgrade) to absolute stations in Paris. Six of 15 first order stations where on the territory of Croatia. Subsequently, work on the second order network started, by finalization of which, the Fundamental Gravity Network of former Yugoslavia was established in late 1960s. Even though considerable part of the Fundamental Gravity Network of former Yugoslavia was on the territory of Croatia, after gaining independence, because of inability to gain data on the network that is kept in Belgrade and because of condition and layout of existing gravity stations, the Republic of Croatia had to start over with establishment of a fundamental gravity network. Hence, Croatia established 6 absolute gravity stations that form the Zero Order Gravity Network of the Republic of Croatia. Following, the First Order Gravity Network has been established that comprises 36 relative stations (including 25 stations from old fundamental network). Today, the Fundamental Gravity Network that comprises zero and first order network is completely established and there is an on going project of the Second Order Gravity Network. In addition, realization of the gravity meter calibration line, cyclic re-surveys of the Fundamental Gravity Network, as well as its densification on land area and extension on the Croatian islands are planned.
