Single measurements of gravity cannot give sufficient information about the position of measuring points with respect to some terrestrial reference system. Only a set of gravimetric stations all over the Earth combined with a determination of their coordinates allows one to determine (from the solution of Molodensky’s problem) the heights of these stations with respect to a level ellipsoid with center at the geocenter. Given in addition their heights above some reference ellipsoid, whose position in the Earth’s body is fixed through a set of reference points on its surface, the position of the geocenter in the same reference system may be obtained.
