The Combination of Gravity and Satellite Altimetry Data for Determining the Geoid Surface.
Abstract
A recent report by Brown (1973) initiated a new approach to satellite altimetry adjustment, in the sense that highly accurate reference orbits are no longer required. Computer simulations indicated that in this way, global oceanic geoid accurate to within 1 to 2 meters rms may be determined from the reduction of GEOS-C satellite observations. However, worthwhile geoidal accuracies cannot be obtained over land masses from the reduction of satellite altimetry alone.
