ON THE THEORY OF ERRORS OF PHYSICAL GEODESY GRAVITATIONAL FIELD OF THE EARTH AND SATELLITE ORBITS

Abstract

General formulas for error propagation in linear integral transformations are given. They are applied to the accuracy of the computation of the gravity vector at high altitudes from surface gravity anomalies, and to the accuracy of satellite orbits computed therefrom.
