Gravity Field of Mars
Abstract
The Stokes constants of Mars up to n equals 6 determined by Reasenberg et al. (1957) are used to ascertain the radius vector of a smoothed equipotential surface as well as components of the deflections of the vertical. The numerical values of the harmonic coefficients are presented.
