Original Formula

AbstractGeoid determination below the topographic surface in continental areas using analytical continuation of gravity anomaly and/or an external type of solid spherical harmonics determined by an Earth GravitationalModel (EGM) inevitably leads to a topographic bias, as the true disturbing potential at the geoid is not harmonic in contrast to its estimates. We show that this bias differs for the geoid heights represented by Stokes’ formula, an EGMand for the modified Stokes formula. The differences are due to the fact that the EGM suffers from truncation and divergence errors in addition to the topographic bias in Stokes’ original formula.

Summary It is a known result that any vector field ${\boldsymbol{u}}$ that is locally Hölder continuous on an arbitrary open set $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ can be written on $\Omega$ as the sum of a gradient and a curl. Should $\Omega$ be unbounded, no conditions are required on the behaviour of ${\boldsymbol{u}}$ at infinity. We present a direct, self-contained proof of this theorem that only uses elementary techniques and has a constructive character. It consists in patching together local solutions given by the Newtonian potential that are then modified by harmonic approximations—based on solid spherical harmonics—to assure convergence near infinity for the resulting series.
