In order to decribe better the temporal variation of a gravity field where repeated gravimetric gravimetric
observations have been performed, an approach of determinating the Plumb Line Variations (PLV) within the
field, as well as the corresponding Geoid deformations (GD) there, has been introduced. The suggested
approarch has been put into practice in using the repeated gravimatric observations of 1985-1998 performed at
Beijing and Yunnan gravimetric Networks. After a comparison with the great earthquakes (M >5) nearby in the
same period, it can be seen that the obtained PLV and GD is helpful both in understanding the temporal
variations of a gravity field, as well as in the studying of an earthquake.
