Spectral Analysis of Geoidal Signals at Points of Geodynamical Interest Used in the Investigation of the Depth of Mass-Density Causal “Sources” of Ground Deformations

Geoid undulations produced as the difference between ellipsoidal heights h and leveled or trigonometric heights H are observed point signals that bear information about the interior of the Earth. Exploring this information in a lateral sense is possible by the use of statistical methods which do not involve geophysical inversion and are capable of pre-evaluating regions of geodynamical interest. Such investigations may be carried out by means of test computations of the depth of possible sources in the Earth’s interior that might cause deformations on its surface.
