Abstract: | Spherical harmonic expansions of the geopotential are frequently used for modelling the earth’s gravity field. Degree and
order of recently available models go up to 360, corresponding to a resolution of about50 km. Thus, the high degree potential coefficients can be verified nowadays even by locally distributed sets of terrestrial gravity
anomalies. These verifications are important when combining the short wavelength model impact, e.g. for regional geoid determinations
by means of collocation solutions. A method based on integral formulae is presented, enabling the improvement of geopotential
models with respect to non-global distributed gravity anomalies. To illustrate the foregoing, geoid computations are carried
out for the area of Iran, introducing theGPM2 geopotential model in combination with available regional gravity data. The accuracy of the geoid determination is estimated
from a comparison with Doppler and levelling data to ±1.4m. |
