Application of the horizontal gravity gradient anomalies in the geoid shape determination

The paper deals with the applictions of the terrestrial measurements of the horizontal gravity gradient components in determination of the geoid shape. It contains Stokes formula analogon, modified by the Author using horizontal gravity gradient anomalies, and analogons of Vening-Meinesz formulae for determination of the plumb line deflections. The approach presented in the paper is possible when measurements are conducted with static gravimeters, and not only with the help of Eotvos torsion balance.
