Relative surveys were conducted using a Zero Length Spring, Inc. Burris relative-gravity meter. Absolute-gravity surveys were conducted 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 20 stations collected over 11 discrete surveys. 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 (insert reference). Because data are not corrected for soil-moisture variation, estimated storage changes include all storage change in the vadose zone. 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). 20190427 20230109 observed Complete None planned -106.7406 -106.6013 35.3425 35.2000 ISO 19115 Topic Category geoscientificInformation None Southwest Gravity Program New Mexico Water Science Center USGS Thesaurus gravitational field (earth) geophysics hydrogeology gravimeter measurement USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:65c17704d34ef4b119ca6757 None Rio Rancho Sandoval County New Mexico None.
