Learning Outcomes

This module teaches how to describe the gravity field of the Earth and its timely variations. The inner density structure of the Earth, as the causal property of the Earth’ gravity field, is derived from gravity observations by satellites (f.e. GOCE, GRACE) or terrestrial measurements. Scientific methods and mathematical concepts for the functional description of gravity related parameters are introduced. Global Reference Systems based on the gravity potential are defined and used as a basis for the fixation of different (local or global) height systems.
