TLDR
In this article, the static deformation of an elastic half-space by surface pressure is reviewed and a brief mention is made of methods for solving the problem when the medium is plane-strategized, but the major emphasis is on the solution for spherical, radially stratified, gravitating earth models.
Abstract
The static deformation of an elastic half-space by surface pressure is reviewed. A brief mention is made of methods for solving the problem when the medium is plane stratified, but the major emphasis is on the solution for spherical, radially stratified, gravitating earth models. Love-number calculations are outlined, and from the Love numbers, Green's functions are formed for the surface mass-load boundary-value problem. Tables of mass-load Green's functions, computed for realistic earth models, are given, so that the displacements, tilts, accelerations, and strains at the earth's surface caused by any static load can be found by evaluating a convolution integral over the loaded region.

Methods for assimilating remotelysensed water storage changes into hydrological models

TL;DR: In this article, a calibration and data assimilation (C/DA) framework is developed to merge remotely-sensed large scale gravity fields with hydrological models, which is a sophisticated 0.5×0.5 conceptual model that simulates daily water changes in surface and sub-surface water compartments (including groundwater).

Uniqueness in the Inversion of Inaccurate Gross Earth Data

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a given set G of measured gross Earth data permits such a construction of localized averages, and if so, how to find the shortest length scale over which G gives a local average structure at a particular depth if the variance of the error in computing that local average from G is to be less than a specified amount.
