  • Description:
    A solution for the Earth's gravitational field represented by the potential of a simple layer is obtained by means of the analysis of 108,491 observations from 21 weeks of Doppler data from 41 stations to seven satellites. In a combined solution gravity anomalies are added to satellite observations. In addition the results for 17 stations of the worldwide satellite triangulation tied by survey to corresponding Doppler stations are introduced into the combined solution so that coordinates of 41 Doppler stations and 17 stations of the satellite triangulation are obtained. The semimajor axis of the best fitting ellipsoid of the combined solution equals 6,378,134 m and its flattening 1/298,254.
