We present a comprehensive view of the origin, significance and implications of topographic
effects in gravimetry. These are gravitational effects of topographic masses that are present …

The geoid is an equipotential surface of the static Earth's gravity field which plays a
fundamental role in definition of physical heights related to the mean sea level (orthometric …

Today the combination of Stokes' formula and an Earth gravity model (EGM) for geoid
determination is a standard procedure. However, the method of modifying Stokes' formula …

The AUSGeoid98 gravimetric geoid model of Australia has been computed using data from
the EGM96 global geopotential model, the 1996 release of the Australian gravity database …

A deterministic modification of Stokes's integration kernel is presented which reduces the
truncation error when regional gravity data are used in conjunction with a global …

When regional gravity data are used to compute a gravimetric geoid in conjunction with a
geopotential model, it is sometimes implied that the terrestrial gravity data correct any …

AUSGeoid09 is the new Australia-wide gravimetric quasigeoid model that has been a
posteriori fitted to the Australian Height Datum (AHD) so as to provide a product that is …

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 …

Gravity reduction from the Earth's surface to the geoid requires knowledge of topographical
mass density. However, in practice the constant density (2.67 g/cm 3) is mostly used to …
