Chronometric measurement of the orthometric height differences by means of atomic clocks
Abstract
We report on the experimental results of the approbation of a new physical method of determination of the potential difference of the gravity force and the orthometric heights by means of the measurement of the gravitational red shift of frequency with atomic clocks. The experiment has been performed on the territory of Altai Mountains between two geodetic stations "Shebalino" and "Seminsky" which are separated in altitude by about 850 meters. The mean value of the frequency shift caused by the change in the potential of the gravity force measured between the two geodetic stations was found to be equal to δ f/f=7.98× 10^{-14} with the dispersion being equal to σ _{f} =7.27× 10^{-15} . This difference perfectly agrees with the independent geodetic measurements of the height difference between the two stations.
