Gravity forward modeling with a tesseroid-based Rock-Water-Ice approach - Theory and applications in the context of the GOCE mission and height system unification - Thomas Grombein Kartoniert (TB)

Detailed information on the gravitational effect of the Earth's topographic and isostatic masses can be calculated by gravity forward modeling. Within this book the tesseroid-based Rock-Water-Ice (RWI) approach is developed which allows a rigorous separate modeling of the Earth's rock water and ice masses with variable density values. Besides a discussion and evaluation of the RWI approach applications in the context of the GOCE satellite mission and height system unification are presented.
