Različni postopki za izračun odklonov navpičnice: primer območja pod Krvavcem ( = Different aspects of the computation of vertical deflection: case study in the area of Krvavec) [PDF]
In coordinate calculation from terrestrial measurements, the reduction due to the Earth's gravity field should be one of the main topics of consideration. The problem is of extreme importance especially in steep areas, where geoid surface is not parallel

Will the recently approved LARES mission be able to measure the Lense-Thirring effect at 1%?
After the approval by the Italian Space Agency of the LARES satellite, which should be launched at the end of 2009 with a VEGA rocket and whose claimed goal is a about 1% measurement of the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense-Thirring effect in ...

Effective elastic thickness in the Central Andes. Correlation to orogenic deformation styles and lower crust high-gravity anomaly [PDF]
Global studies have assessed the importance of elastic thickness (Te) on orogenic evolution, showing that the style and nature of upper crustal shortening are influenced by the inherited lithospheric strength. Thus, pioneer works have identified that the

The quasigeoid modelling in New Zealand using the boundary element method
We compile a quasigeoid model at the study area of New Zealand using the boundary element method (BEM). The direct BEM formulation for the Laplace equation is applied to obtain a numerical solution to the linearized fixed gravimetric boundaryvalue ...

Assessment of EGM2008 over Britain using vertical deflections, and problems with historical data [PDF]
AbstractVertical deflections synthesised from the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008) agree with astrogeodetic vertical deflections observed over mainland Britain to within ∼1·2″ RMS (north–south) and ∼1·4″ RMS (east–west), which is commensurate with values reported for North America, Australia and parts of continental Europe.

Abstract Traditional nadir altimeters struggle with coastal water surface elevation (WSE) measurement and fine‐scale river‐estuary interactions, due to land‐water signal interference and their wide inter‐track spacing. The wide‐swath Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, using a new Ka‐band radar interferometer, aims to address these ...

An Assessment of State-of-the-Art Mean Sea Surface and Geoid Models of the Arctic Ocean: Implications for Sea Ice Freeboard Retrieval [PDF]
State-of-the-art Arctic Ocean mean sea surface (MSS) models and global geoid models (GGMs) are used to support sea ice freeboard estimation from satellite altimeters, as well as in oceanographic studies such as mapping sea level anomalies and mean ...

Performance evaluation of the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008) – a case study
Ghana’s local geodetic reference network which is based on the War Office 1926 ellipsoid was established using astro-geodetic observations during the British Colonial era with data in latitude, longitude and orthometric height (𝜑,𝜆,𝐻) without the existence of ellipsoidal height.
