Gravity field due to a homogeneous oblate spheroid: Simple solution form and numerical calculations

We present a simple derivation of the interior and exterior gravitational potentials due to oblate spheroid and also its gravity field components by using the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation in oblate spheroidal coordinates. Application of the method of separation of variables provides...
