Abstract. To estimate uncertainties in gravity anomalies derived from modern Earth gravitational models a series of transcontinental long distance airborne gravimetric profiles on the territory of Russia were used, that is carried out by the laboratory of graviinertial measurements of IPE RAS in 2013–2014. The measurements were made on 23 independent traces during airborne gravity survey from Syktyvkar to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. As a result we estimated the conformity of modern gravitational models and their reliability in some hard-to-reach regions of Russia.

It is shown, that long distance airborne gravity survey can be used to estimate the regional uncertainties in transformants (derivatives) of anomalous gravity potential in modern Earth gravitational models.

Keywords: aerogravimetry, Earth gravitational model, gravity anomalies, airborne gravity survey, long distance profiles, Russia.
