DETERMINATION OF THE FIGURE OF THE EARTH WITHOUT THE USE OF THE CONCEPT OF A NORMAL COMPARISON PLANET.
Abstract
In investigation the figure of the Earth by gravimetrical methods use is made generally of a normal comparison planet, and as such a level spheroid is mostly used. Adopting the method of Sludsky and making no use of a normal Earth, formulae are developed, which permit to computate the components of the inclination of the vertical in points of the physical surface of the Earth as well as the altitudes of some quasigeoid relatively to a nonlevel ellipsoid.
