REMARKS CONCERNING I. F. MONIN'S SHORT COMMUNICATION ON CALCULATING DEFLECTIONS OF THE VERTICAL.
Abstract
It is demonstrated that the method proposed by I. F. Monin (Astronomicheskiy zhurnal (Astronomical Journal). 1963, XL, No. 1, pp. 179-183) is not applicable to practical use. It is further shown that the first and the second methods of Molodensky (Trudy TsNIIGAiK (Transactions of the Central Scientific-Research Institute of Geodesy, Aerial Surveying, and Cartography), 1949, issue 68, 5-11, and 1960, issue 131) of numerical solution of his integral equation for density of a single layer substituted for the attraction of anomalous masses in the interior of the Earth promptly lead to a higher accuracy than that of the Stokes' theory applied to the real Earth. The results of calculations carried out (Trudy TsNIIGAiK, 1950, issue 75, 11-77, and 1954, issue 103, 65-117) by Yeremeyev and Yurkina in accordance with the first of these methods are also much more accurate as compared with the Stokes' approximation, and are in fact near the correct values.
