Gravityfield2GriddedData

This program computes values of a gravityfield on a given grid. The type of value (e.g gravity anomalies or geoid heights) can be choosen with kernel. If a time is given the gravity field will be evaluated at this point of time otherwise only the static part will be used. The values will be saved together with points expressed as ellipsoidal coordinates (longitude, latitude, height) based on a reference ellipsoid with parameters R and inverseFlattening. To speed up the computation the gravity field can be converted to spherical harmonics before the computation with convertToHarmonics.

To visualize the results use PlotMap.
