Modelling and Characterizing the Earth Gravity Field: from Basic Principles to Actual Purposes

Description

The Earth is a specific body in the Universe. Nowadays, thanks to the high accuracy of the measurements obtained by different techniques of geodesy, its shape, as well as its gravity field, can be described and characterized in a very precise way, with thousands of parameters: the Earth is a spherical body only in a very first approximation!
