Short summary
The historical gravity dataset of Lithuania consists of two files based on measurements carried out between 1951 and 1962: data of second and third order gravimetric network as well as data from gravity surveys. The historical gravity data set could be used for quasi-geoid modelling, for development of Earth geopotential models and for geological interpretation.
