CALCULATION OF HIGHER DERIVATIVES OF THE GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ON THE BASIS OF F-APPROXIMATION

Abstract

This article considers an approximate method of the gravitational field transformation (the determination of different components of the gravity potential). The method developed by the author and computer technologies of the F-approximation permit the calculation of horizontal and vertical derivatives of the gravitational potential for basic data defined both on a regular and on an irregular grid. The method is tested on model and actual gravimetric data.
