AbstractA method for generating long periodic variations in satellite orbital elements when perturbed by discrete gravity anomalies is presented. The method consists of developing a disturbing potential as a function of orbital and gravity anomaly parameters, and generating partial derivatives of the potential with respect to the orbital elements. The partials are averaged over the period of the satellite to eliminate the short periodic variations. The averaged partials are substituted into the variation of parameter equations to give the mean orbital rates. Classically orbital elements are used in generating gravity field and thus the method is dynamic in nature. The problem is extremely cumbersome and complex when multi-state parameters have to be estimated from a considerably large data set. However, when mean orbital rates are used, the problem reduces to a simple linear static case, where only the gravity parameters have to be estimated, and it is a simple matrix inversion problem. Thus the method developed here was utilized in reducing Appolo 15 and 16 subsatellite radio tracking data to produce a lunar gravity field represented by point masses.

Abstract The method of fundamental solutions has been applied to evaluate the influence of fish models geometrical features on the target strength (TS) directivity and TS frequency response of swimbladdered fish. Simplified models were considered for two fish species: gilt-head sea bream (Sparus aurata, Linnaeus 1758) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Linnaeus 1758), and different geometrical details of their morphology were studied, such as backbone presence, and its curvature or the inclusion of vertebrae modulation. Swimbladder shape and tilt, together with the inclusion of backbone (and its realistic curvature) for dorsal measurements were the most important features for proper estimation of mean TS. The estimation of mean TS is considered including the effect of fish tilt, the echosounder frequency, and the fish-to-transducer distance.
