Abstract

Since the geoid is situated partially in the exterior, partially in the interior of the earth’s body, the gravity potential of the earth has to be determined in both domains. Here we focus on the potential in the interior domain, which we calculate by solving an oblique boundary value problem (bvp) of Poisson’s equation.
