Geoid School - The Aim and Contents


The objectives of the Fourth International School on Least Squares Approach to Modelling the Geoid was aimed at providing a good opportunity for the students to familiarize themselves with the latest developments in geoid determination with special focus on the use of KTH Least Squares Modification of Stokes Approach software package (LSMSA). The school was also aimed as well for the participants to building up contacts with the professionals dealing with geoid determination particularly among those within the participant's countries.

The content of the lectures of the Fourth International School on Least Squares Approach to Modelling the Geoid include the following topics;

- Basic Physical Geodesy, Modification of Stokes' formula, Additive corrections in the KTH Method, LSMSA vs the R-C-R technique and some practical experiences geoid computation using KTH Method.
The lab sessions were focused with the following contents;
- Gravity data snooping and gridding, Gravity field determination by global geopotential models, Digital Elevation models (DEM) and geoid, and full project workshop of computing geoid using KTH GEOLAB Software.
