Abstract
Since 1947 the New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, the University of Wisconsin group, and others have made numerous gravity observations at the airport and pendulum stations in the four main cities of New Zealand. These stations are frequently occupied by geophysicists en route to Antarctica, the Pacific Islands, or Australia. However, many of these are now inaccessible and have been replaced. This paper gives latitudes and longitudes, elevations, observed gravity values, and diagrams or descriptions of the present airport and pendulum stations in the Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin areas, which also include the principal seaportsKeywords
