Browne's correction
A gravity correction gaθ²/2 applied to the value ga of gravity measured by a horizontally accelerated gravimeter to obtain the value of gravity that would have been measured by a stationary gravimeter. θ is the angle through which the axis of the gravimeter is deflected from the vertical. The measured value is in error because the vehicle's horizontal acceleration causes the sensitive axis of the gravimeter to make, on the average, an angle θ with the vertical.
