ON THE DETERMINATION OF THE VERTICAL GRADIENT OF THE TERRESTRIAL ACCELERATION OF THE GEOIDAL EARTH (Pro Viznachennya Verticalnogo Gradienta Zemnogo Priskorennya Geoidalnoi Zemli),

Abstract

The vertical anomalous gradient of gravity is calculated from gravity anomalies. In addition, the earth is considered as an infinite area, or a sphere, or a bi-axial ellipsoid, or finally a geoid. All the formulas for the partial derivative of delta g with respect to nut are integral. The most interesting formula has been suggested by M. S. Molodenskiy. A new formula for the partial derivative of delta g with respect to nu is presented in this report, which gives the possibility to calculate the vertical gradient of gravity more accurately by one order than Molodenskiy's formula.
