Geoid undulation computations at laser tracking stationsThe accuracy of numerical computations of gravimetric undulations using recently proposed modifications of the classical Stokes formula is investigated. The basic formulations of the methods are outlined, and results from trial computations are presented in tables and graphs and compared with actual gravity data and/or GEOS-3/Seasat sea-surface heights. Although all of the methods gave similar results, the method of Sjoberg (1986) is recommended because of its superior theoretical precision. The importance of including terrain-corrected free-air anomalies in the computations is indicated.
