GEOID REPRESENTATION FROM SATELLITE-DETERMINED COEFFICIENTS.
Abstract
This report describes the mathematical formulations and programs developed to provide a spatial representation of a geopotential surface, based on a set of geopotential harmonic coefficients determined by an investigator from a study of satellite motion. The component parts of the problem are analyzed and discussed in detail, and the mathematical techniques for accomplishing the various objectives are presented. These techniques have been verified by hand computations and by computer programs, and have been implemented in the form of two FORTRAN IV programs for the IBM 7094 Computer. Complete instructions for using the programs, as well as program documentation, are included. (Author)
