[en] Abstract This report contains terrestrial absolute gravity measurements performed near the village of Kulusuk in southeast Greenland. It represents an exceptionally long time series of nearly two decades. The measurements began in July 1996 until July 2015. The station is located a few meters beside a permanent GNSS station. The final gravity values (g-values), more precisely the accelerations due to gravity, are listed along their associated uncertainties. A description of the station, a short explanation on the absolute gravimeter, and the data processing are presented.
