Dynamic satellite geodesy

It is pointed out that during the time since the last quadrennial report dynamic satellite geodesy has been continually refined with several new and independent solutions for the gravity field and station coordination. The generalized geoid seems to be known to about 3 m. Satellite-to-satellite tracking has been investigated as a means of determining the fine structure of the gravity field. The earth tide continues to be studied with satellite perturbation analysis. Investigations of polar motion are also considered.
