Abstract

This paper is a continuation of the author's paper, "On the Practical Solution of the Boundary Value Problem of Physical Geodesy," using the gravity anomalies ∆g and the undulation values N at the sea level and expanding the disturbing potential T, the gravity anomaly ∆g and the deflection of the vertical components ξ and η in Taylor series of the altitude h. These formulas give the quantities Th, ∆gh, ξh, and ηh at the elevations not exceeding 150 km. [Some mathematical expressions are not fully represented in the metadata.
