Satellite geodesy: Data acquisition
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1971 After more than a decade of satellite observations, the data acquired during the past quadrennium have been the catalyst needed to bring about great achievements in satellite geodesy. Unlike earlier solutions our present determinations include very elaborate gravitational models containing hundreds of terms, precise worldwide positions good to ±10 ...
