摘要：
The geopotential value of W-0 = (62 636 855.611 +/- 0.008) m(2)s(-2) which specifies the equipotential surface fitting the mean ocean surface best, was obtained from four years (1993 - 1996) of TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter data (AVISO, 1995). The altimeter calibration error limits the actual accuracy of W-0 to about (0.2 - 0.5) m(2)s(-2) (2 - 5) cm. The same accuracy limits also apply to the corresponding semimajor axis of the mean Earth's level ellipsoid a = 6 378 136.72 In (mean tide system), a = 6 378 136.62 m (zero tide system), a = 6 378 136.59 m (tide-free). The variations irt the yearly mean values of the geopotential did not exceed +/- 0.025 m(2)s(-2) (+/-2.5 mm).
