Zl. Fei et Mg. Sideris, Local relationships between the disturbing density, the disturbing potential and the disturbing gravity of the Earth's gravity field, J GEODESY, 73(10), 1999, pp. 534-542
A function having some properties of a wavelet and being harmonic around a
given point in R-3 is defined, and three models showing the local relations
hips between the disturbing density, the disturbing potential and the distu
rbing gravity are established by using the function as the kernel function
of the integrals in the models. The local relationship has two meanings. On
e is that we can evaluate with a high accuracy the integrals in the models
by using mainly high-accuracy and high-resolution data in a local area. The
other is that we can obtain a stable solution with high resolution when we
invert the integrals in the models because of the rapid decrease of the ke
rnel function of the integrals. As a result, with these models we evaluate
one quantity with high resolution, in a band limited by the maximum degree
of a set of geopotential coefficients or by the resolution (spacing) of the
local data, from another quantity (or quantities) in a local area, and the
resulting solution is stable.
