A STRETCH COMPUTER PROGRAM TO CALCULATE THE GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THE EARTH AS A SUM OF SOLID HARMONICS.

Abstract

A detailed description, including flow charts, derivations of equations, input and output configurations, and FORTRAN IV program listing, is given for an IBM 7030 computer subprogram used to obtain the gravitational potential of the earth from a variable number of spherical harmonics. (Author)
