Prediction of vertical deflections from high-degree spherical harmonic synthesis and residual terrain model data

This study demonstrates that in mountainous areas the use of residual terrain model (RTM) data significantly improves the accuracy of vertical deflections obtained from high-degree spherical harmonicsynthesis. The new Earth gravitational model EGM2008 is used to compute vertical deflections up to a...
