Abstract
The gravity is used to solve geodesy's primary tasks, such as determining geoid and defining the height and gravimetric reference networks of different scales, from national to global. Knowledge of gravity is of great importance for both metrology and geodetic metrology. In addition to the historical overview of absolute gravimeters, this paper presents the theoretical basis of the most commonly used method for determining the absolute value of gravity. The principle of operation of the absolute gravimeter FG5 and the importance of international comparison of absolute gravimeters are briefly presented. An overview of the gravimetric reference systems is given, emphasizing the establishment of the International Reference Gravimetric System. The previous works concerning the absolute determination of acceleration due to Earth's gravity field in Serbia are presented. Finally, the importance of determining the absolute value of gravity from the geodetic and metrological perspective is pointed out. Both national and international significance of determining absolute gravity in defining gravimetric reference systems and the importance of absolute gravity in monitoring global phenomena are emphasized.
