Formulating a Theoretical Model for Gravity on the Clarke-1880 Ellipsoid to Determine Practical Local-Geoid Models

Abstract

The determination of gravimetric geoid models using gravity anomalies requires the computation of normal gravity on specific ellipsoids. For global models, the International Gravity Formula is applied to the WGS 84 ellipsoid, while local models use the ellipsoid adopted for geodetic computation in the region of study. In countries that use the Clarke 1880 ellipsoid, a theoretical gravity model is computed on this surface to establish a precise local geoid model. This paper formulates a local theoretical gravity model for calculation of theoretical gravity values on the Clarke 1880 spheroid using the Somiglinana’s closed formula for normal gravity, angular velocity, gravitational constant, and the Clarke 1880 spheroid parameters. The model is presented in two forms (A and B) and compared to ensure accuracy. Both forms of the model are suitable for accurate normal gravity computation on the Clarke 1880 ellipsoid.
