TEST INTERPOLATION OF DEFLECTION OF THE VERTICAL IN HUNGARY BASED ON GRAVITY GRADIENTS

Abstract

A program package for computers was developed to test empirical methods of interpolation of deflection of the vertical which can be used to determine deflections of the vertical by any method of interpolation either along triangulation chains or in networks covering arbitrary large areas. In the course of our test computations in Hungary first we compared different empirical methods of interpolation then we tried to get an answer to the question whether the reliability of interpolated data can be increased by introducing appropriate weighting. Another important object of our investigations was to determine optimal geometrical arrangement for interpolation networks.
