A semi-vectorized and relationally-operated algorithm for fast geoid computation using Stokes’s integration
We propose an optimization algorithm to speed up the computation of a high-frequency geoid based on the surface integral of Stokes’s formula. Stokes’s integral computes high-frequency geoid undulations from th...
