Gravity Summary

Gravity Summary. A general solution for the laplace problem can be written in spherical harmonics: V=(GM/r) ? n=0 ? ? m=0 n (R/r) n (C nm cos m? + S nm sin m?) P nm (sin ?) ? latitude, ? longitude, R Earth Radius, r distance from CM

Gravity Summary

Gravity Summary. In first approximation we can chose for the shape of the Earth an ellipsoid of rotation defined essentially by the degree n=2 m=0 of the potential field plus the centrifugal potential. This is known as ellipsoid of reference.
