After successful completion of the course, students are able to calculate important parameters of the Earth gravity field and of theoretical equilibrium figures and to work with time variable gravity fields from satellite observations and derive relevant quantities from these data sets.

Calculation and interpolation of functionals of he disturbing gravity potential (geoid undulation, gravity anomalý, deflecion of the vetical).based on field measurements of global Earth gravity models.Calculation of gravity field corrections to geodetic measurements. Reference Ellipsoid.

Use of data from satelite gravity missions (e.g. GRACE.GOCE).

Joint development of practical examples during the exercise, independent elaboration of exercises with respective instructions.

Presentation or discussion of the independently elaborated excercises. Participation during the exercises.

Als Literatur dient das in gleichnamiger Vorlesung ausgegebene Skriptum.

Der Besuch der begleitenden Vorlesung wird dringend empfohlen, da die theoretischen Grundlagen in der Übung nicht erneut gebracht werden.
