“…In geodesy, to describe the gravitational field of a compact object, such as the Earth, from the point of view of Newtonian gravity, a specific shape of the object is usually assumed. A particularly interesting case is represented by a level ellipsoid for which a detailed description exists that is known as the Somigliana-Pizzetti gravity field (Ardalan and Grafarend, 2001;Pizzetti, 1894;Sjöberg et al, 2017;Somigliana, 1930). This field can be represented in different manners, but a particular useful representation is given in terms of the Jacobi spheroidal coordinates (l, f, u), which are related to the Cartesian coordinates by means of the transformation…”
