The Study of Factors Affecting the Precise Estimation of the Earth's Gravity Field.

Abstract

This report summarizes the work done in the three year period of the contract. Brief remarks are made concerning research in the following areas: new analysis techniques for data given on a spherical grid: analysis of satellite-to-satellite tracking data; global gravity field modelling; and the vertical datum problem. A complete list of papers and reports produced under contract sponsorship are listed. (Author)
