Abstract
The values of \( \Delta g \) corrections for vertical component of gravity produced by TOPEX/POSEIDON sea level variations were estimated. With this aim, the M. Molodensky boundary problem for deformation of elastic gravitating compressible sphere was solved. An equation connecting boundary conditions on the mantle surface and bottom was obtained. The values of load Love numbers for several models of upper layers of the Earth were calculated. We demonstrate that magnitude of \( \Delta g \) corrections appreciably depend from used models of the upper mantle and lithosphere structure.
