Precise Calculation of Innermost Area Effects in Altimetry Gravity Based on the Inverse Vening-Meinesz Formula

In order to improve the precision of the innermost area effects in altimetry gravity computed by the inverse Vening-Meinesz formula, deflections of the vertical are expressed as bi-quadratic polynomials regarding the innermost area as a rectangular one, and the formulas to calculate gravity anomaly of this area are derived after the non-singular transformation is introduced. A practical calculation is done based on deflections of the vertical data with a resolution of in the low latitude area. The results indicate that the maximal difference between the contributions of the innermost area including four grids calculated by traditional formulas and this paper's formulas is greater than 1 mGal. The formulas derived in this paper can provide theoretical basis for the innermost area effects in altimetry gravity with high precision.
