A Study of Terrain Reductions, Density Anomalies and Geophysical Inversion Methods in Gravity Field Modelling

Abstract
The general principles of the use of known density anomalies for gravity field modelling are reviewed with special emphasis on local applications and utilization of high degree and order spherical harmonic reference fields. The natural extension to include also unknown density anomalies will be studied within the framework of geophysical inversion methods, and the prospects for hybrid gravity field modelling/inversion methods will be outlined. A very simple case of such methods is the determination of representative topographic densities through collocation with parameters.
