Measurements of the absolute acceleration of gravity g at seven sites in the Northern Caucasus region which form a reference network for gravimetric monitoring of vertical movements of the region are reported. A method based on measuring Δg between new and the reference sites with a high-precision relative gravimeter has been developed for extending this network to other parts of the region.
