The history of published geoid determination for the British Isles over the last fifty years is reviewed. This includes global geopotential models, tailored geopotential models, British gravimetric geoid models, and European gravimetric geoid models that cover the British Isles. Proposals are made for a collaborative venture to produce a new geoid model using the most recent data and computational techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
