Analysis of the Gravity Field : Direct and Inverse Problems /

This textbook presents a comprehensive treatment of the theory and implementation of inverse methods in the analysis and interpretation of Earth's gravity field. By restricting their consideration to a local rather than global level, the authors focus on the use of observations and data that ar...
