This book will be based on the material of the lecture noties in
several International Schools for the Determination and Use of the
Geoid, organized by the International Geoid Serivice of the
International Association of Geodesy. It consolidates, unifies, and
streamlines this material in a unique way not covereed by the few
other books that exist on this subjext. More specifically, the book
presents (for the first time in a single volume) the theory and
methodology of the most common technique used for precise
determination of the geoid, including the computation of the marine
geoid from satellite altimetry data. These are illustrated by
specific examples and actual computations of local geoids. In
addition, the book provides the fundamentals of estimating
orthometric heights without spirit levelling, by properly combining
a geoid with heights from GPS. Besides the geodectic and
geophysical uses, this last application has made geoid computation
methods very popular in recent years because the entire GPS and GIS
user communities are interested in estimating geoid undulations in
order to convert GPS heights to physically meaningful orthometric
heights (elevations above mean sea level). The overall purpose of
the book is, therefore, to provide the user community (academics,
graduate students, geophysicists, engineers, oceanographers, GIS
and GPS users, researchers) with a self-contained textbook, which
will supply them with the complete roadmap of estimating geoid
undulations, from the theoretical definitions and formulas to the
available numerical methods and their implementation and the test
in practice.
