In geodesy, the geoid and the quasigeoid are used as a reference surface for heights. Despite some similarities between these two concepts, the differences between the geoid …
The main problem of the rigorous definition of the orthometric height is the evaluation of the mean value of the Earth's gravity acceleration along the plumbline within the topography. To …
The remove-compute-restore (RCR) technique is the most well known method for regional gravimetric geoid determination today. Its basic theory is the first-order approximation of …
Since 2006, several different groups have computed geoid and/or quasigeoid (quasi/geoid) models for the Auvergne test area in central France using various approaches. In this …
The topographic potential and the direct topographic effect on the geoid are presented as surface integrals, and the direct gravity effect is derived as a rigorous surface integral on the …

In Molodensky's definition of the normal height, the mean normal gravity is computed explicitly. In definition of the orthometric height, however, the actual mean gravity along the …
The least squares modification of Stokes formula has been developed in a series of papers published in Journal of Geodesy between 1984 and 2008. It consists of a least squares …
Iran is one of the most complicated areas in the world from the view of rough topography, tectonic activity, large lateral density and geoidal height variations. The computation of a …
The geoid can be computed from the quasigeoid by applying the geoid-to-quasigeoid separation. The geoid-to-quasigeoid separation is also needed for a vertical datum …
