Thanks Didier,
There's also some useful information on the subject here:

From memory, I believe tvb did some experiments with an OCXO or Rb measuring
AVAR while flipping the oscillator upside down (+/- 1g). You may find links on
tvb's web site www.leapsecond.com
At the moment, I cannot find the link...

PS: Note to tvb: Tom, when you have time, a search or indexing feature on your
web site would be very useful. Apparently, Google is not able to find much of
the excellent resources and data you have, maybe because many pages are not
linked through the main page?

Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Motion effects on accuracy of GPS pps
Thanks for the response Björn. Also thanks to Didier Juges for pointing
out that this has been covered on a previous thread. I'll go and find it
in the history.
Unfortunately the device will be used in urban areas so some multipath &
obstruction of skyview is expected. I've just done some testing on my
OCXO and it has a maximum sensitivity of about 5 ppb / *g*, which is
notable, but shouldn't present a problem. I've yet to explore the
vibration effects - thanks for pointing my attention to the motion
effects on the OCXO itself, its an aspect I'd otherwise have overlooked.
