Abstract
An Efficient technique for global geoid recovery was developed operating in the frequency domain and intended for use with gridded global sets of satellite gravity gradiometry (and similar) data.
A global buried masses grid is obtained as an intermediate solution, from which geoid undulations, gravity disturbance components and disturbing gravity gradient components can be regenerated by direct use of Newton-type formulae.
Test computations using OSU86F are described showing the functionality, accuracy and resource requirements of the algorithms implemented and their use for geoid determination.
