      <abstract>This dataset represents the network-adjusted results of relative- and absolute-gravity surveys performed from 2019 to 2023 in and near Anza Valley, California. Relative surveys were done using a Zero Length Spring, Inc. Burris relative-gravity meter. Absolute-gravity surveys were done using a Micro-g LaCoste, Inc. A-10 absolute-gravity meter. The effect of solid Earth tides and ocean loading were removed from the data prior to network adjustment. Non-linear instrument drift was removed by evaluating gravity change during repeated measurements at one or more base stations. Vertical gradients between the relative- and absolute-gravity meters were measured at each station where both types of measurement were collected to correlate the measurements of the two instruments. Vertical gradients were measured using a relative-gravity meter and tripod set to the height of the absolute-gravity meter. Relative-gravity differences and absolute-gravity data were combined using least-squares network adjustment, as implemented in the software GSadjust (https://code.usgs.gov/sgp/gsadjust). Data are provided for 35 stations collected over 7 discrete surveys.</abstract>
      <purpose>Gravity data were collected to evaluate aquifer-storage change and aquifer-storage properties. Using the horizontal infinite-slab approximation, gravity data can be converted to a thickness of free-standing water (Pool and Eychaner, 1995). Because data are not corrected for soil-moisture variation, estimated storage changes include all storage change in the vadose zone.</purpose>
      <supplinf>Gravity values at all stations are reported at land-surface elevation. Observed absolute-gravity values are also available in the Southwest Gravity Program Absolute Gravity Database (https://doi.org/10.5066/P984HN6J).</supplinf>

      <horizpa>
        <horizpar>Station positions were identified using a combination of handheld and differential Global Navigation Satellite System surveys(GNSS). Positions obtained using differential GNSS are accurate to about 1 cm (about 0.000001 degrees). Positions obtained using handheld GPS are accurate to about 1.0 m (about 0.0001 degrees). The number of decimal places in the data file reflects the accuracy of the position source. All positions are reported in the NAD83 (epoch 2010.00) datum accessed through the National Geodetic Survey Online Positioning User Service (OPUS).</horizpar>
