The geodetic approximations in the conversion of geoid height to gravity anomaly by Fourier transform
Abstract Six sources of error in the use of Fourier methods for the conversion of geoid heights to gravity anomalies are considered. The errors due to spherical approximation are unimportant. The errors due to approximations in Stokes' integral may be eliminated by use of the gravity coating rather than the gravity anomaly. The chord-to-arc error and the truncation error may be reduced by using a reference field. Tapering of the edges of the measurement window reduces the truncation error. The long-wavelength components of the high degree spherical harmonics cause small offsets in the resulting gravity anomalies. The errors due to the plane approximation can be reduced by appropriate choice of map projection and area of integration.
