A Simple Method to Improve the Geoid from a Global Geopotential Model (or Coarse Geoid Estimation Using Only the Innermost Zone Contribution of Stokes's Formula)

This paper presents the results of curiosity-driven experiments to determine how well, if at all, only the innermost zone contribution of Stoke's formula can model the geoid for GPS height transformation. Terrestrial gravity and terrain data are used over Australia, and the results compared wit...
