The normal gravity formula and the polar flattening according to geodetic reference system 1967

Abstract

We computed the values of flattening / of the equipotential<br />ellipsoid of the Earth's field and of coefficients of the normal gravity,<br />according to the Earth's parameters adopted by the International Union<br />of Geodesy and Geophysics at its General Assembly of 1967 taking into<br />account the mass of atmosphere and using the closed formulae of the Pizzetti-<br />Somigliana theory that appear in: M. Caputo " The Gravity Field of<br />the Earth from classical and modern Methods", Academic Press, 1967.
