A suitable representation of the regional gravity eld is used to estimate relative offsets between national height system realizations in Europe. The method used is based on a gravimetric approach and bene ts from the signi cant improvements in the determination of the global gravity eld by the recent satellite gravity missions the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and the Gravity...

The energy conservation method is based on knowledge of the state vector and measurements of nonconservative forces. This is or will be provided by CHAMP, GRACE and GOCE. Here the analysis of one month of CHAMP state vector and accelerometer data is described. The energy conservation method is used to estimate the gravity potential at satellite altitude. When doing so we consider the tidal pote...

The development of the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008) model is a significant contribution for modeling the Earth’s gravity and geoid. Recently, it can be confidently used versus geometric models following a simple refinement procedure. Several studies show that, EGM2008 can reach the accuracy of regional or local geoid models after modeling the differences between the GPS-leveling geo...

measurements of the tilt angle of potential fields can be a useful aid to their interpretation. there are several varieties of the methods in use, such as tilt angle, and the derivative of tilt angle. tilt angle filters are used for exact edge detection of the rectangular bodies artificially by writing a matlab code. the gravity effects of these models are computed by standard algorithms. the e...

In project scheduling, many problems can arise when resource fluctuations are beyond acceptable limits. To overcome this, mathematical techniques have been developed for leveling resources. However, these produce a hard and inflexible approach in scheduling projects. The authors propose a simple resource leveling approach that can be used in scheduling projects with multi-mode execution activit...

We apply the residual terrain modeling (RTM) technique for gravity forward-modeling to successfully improve high-resolution global gravity fields at short spatial scales in coastal zones. The RTM scheme is combined with the concept of rock-equivalent topography, allowing to use a single uniform constant mass-density in the RTM forward-modeling, both at land and sea. SRTM30_PLUS bathymetry is me...
