Altimeter Measurements for the Determination of the Earth's Gravity Field. Semiannual Research Progress/Status Report March 18, 1986-September 14, 1986

摘要

Progress in the following areas is described: refining altimeter and altimeter crossover measurement models for precise orbit determination and for the solution of the earth's gravity field; performing experiments using altimeter data for the improvement of precise satellite ephemerides; and analyzing an optimal relative data weighting algorithm to combine various data types in the solution of the gravity field.
