Abstract—

The paper presents a method for calculating the Earth’s surface deformations due to the atmospheric loading effect. The load displacements are calculated using the expansion coefficients of the surface atmospheric pressure fields of the European ERA5 reanalysis project for the spherical functions, as well as the load Love numbers that we calculated earlier. The results of calculating atmospheric deformations for Baksan station are presented.
