Environmental effects on gravity at Conrad Observatory, Austria

Since November 2007 the superconducting gravimeter (SG) GWR-C025 has been operating at the new Conrad Observatory located in a mountainous area (Northern Calcareous Alps) about 60 km Southwest of Vienna (Austria). The paper reports on the presently available geodynamical and environmental instrumentation. First results of the two years’ time series are presented and compared to those obtained in Vienna, where the SG has acquired gravity data over a period of 12 years.
