Computation of Geopotential Coefficients from Gravity Anomalies on the Ellipsoid

One of the most important stages in the computation of a global geopotential model is the computation of the spherical harmonic coefficients from gravity anomalies on the normal ellipsoid. None of the existing methods provides an exact solution, and all show severe shortcomings in the high degrees o...
