Abstract
Two test areas with different characteristics of the terrain were selected in Hungary to model the gravity field. We have used point gravity gradients, their terrain effects and geopotential information to model geoid heights by numerical integration using kernel functions for specific gradient and curvature combinations which arise from the solution of the corresponding overdetermined geodetic boundary value problem. The truncation characteristics of these kernel functions were also taken into account. We have compared our results with the collocation solution as well
