Thanks to the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like GPS or GLONASS, 3D point positioning of points, by geometrical positioning, since years ago has become a common practice. The height derived from these ways has a geometrical concept. In civil projects the physical concept of the height is more demanded. Orthometric height, , is one kind of the physical concepts of the height. The Orthometric height of point i, , can be calculated by where is the mean value of the gravity along the plumb line between the geoid and the surface point i and is the geo-potential number of point i, which is calculated using One of the problems in orthometric height calculation is computation of .The value of the gravity at the point with mean height is calculated by Where is gravity observation value at point i. The orthometric height computed by this mean value of the gravity is called Helmert orthometric height, according to Sanso and Sona (1993) the idea for earth gravity determination. In this paper a methodology to calculate value of the gravity at the point with mean height from the geoid has been supposed. Derived gravity from this method is composed from three parts, (1) global and regional gravity computed by ellipsoidal harmonic expansion to degree and order 360 plus the centrifugal acceleration (2) gravitational due to terrain masses within the radius of 55km around the computational point (3) incremental gravity intensity at the computational point. The first and second parts are computed by global geopotential models and digital terrain models. Computation of the third part is possible by solving a boundary value problem. In this paper for computing the incremental gravity intensity at the point with mean height, a method by solving a fixed-free two-boundary nonlinear value problem is addressed. This boundary value problem constructed for observables of the type (i) modulus of gravity (ii) gravity potential (iii) satellite altimetry data (iv) astronomical latitude (v) astronomical longitude. The first step towards the solution of the proposed fixed geodetic boundary value problem is the linearization of the problem. After linearization we obtained a linear boundary value problem that its solution gives us the incremental gravity potential at the surface of the reference ellipsoid. Out of the reference ellipsoid surface, this answer could be obtained by solving the following Dirichlet boundary value problem: In this paper harmonic splines supposed by Freeden (1987) are used to solve the Dirichlet problem. By applying the gradient operator on the incremental gravity potential, due to solving Dirichlet problem, incremental gravity at every point out of the reference ellipsoid can be calculated (Jekeli, 2005). Second section of this paper is an introduction on harmonic splines analysis. The construction of self productive Hilbert space and optimum interpolation answer is presented in the third section. In the final section the application of harmonic splines for solving the Dirichlet boundary value problem is discussed and by the proposed methodology the mean value of gravity in the first order leveling of Iran is calculated.}, keywords = {Boundary Value Problem,Geoid,Harmonic splines,Mean gravity value,orthometric height}, title_fa = {روشی برای محاسبه شتاب گرانی متوسط بر اساس حل مسئله مقدار مرزی و اسپیلاین‌های هماهنگ}, abstract_fa = {ارتفاع ارتومتریک، شتاب گرانی متوسط، مسئله مقدار مرزی ژئودتیک، اسپیلاین‌های هماهنگ‌‌، ژئوئیدیکی از مشکلات اساسی در تعیین ارتفاع ارتومتریک، تعیین شتاب گرانی متوسط در امتداد خط شاقولی گذرنده از نقطه است. در این مقاله روشی برای تعیین شتاب گرانی متوسط برمبنای حل مسئله مقدار مرزی ثابت-آزاد براساس مشاهدات از نوع (1) قدرمطلق شتاب گرانی حاصل از گرانی‌سنجی زمینی (2) طول و عرض نجومی (3) پتانسیل گرانی حاصل از عملیات ترازیابی و گرانی‌سنجی و (4) ارتفاع‌سنجی ماهواره‌ای عرضه می‌شود. پس از حل مسئله مقدار مرزی، پتانسیل گرانی تفاضلی روی سطح بیضوی مرجع حاصل می شود. پتانسیل گرانی تفاضلی در خارج بیضوی مرجع در معادله لاپلاس صدق می‌کند. پس از حل مسئله مقدار مرزی دیریکله، می‌توان پتانسیل گرانی تفاضلی را در نقطه با ارتفاع متوسط تعیین کرد و پس از اِعمال عملگر گرادیان‌‌، شتاب گرانی تفاضلی را نیز در این نقطه به‌دست آورد. با در اختیار داشتن شتاب گرانی تفاضلی در نقطه با ارتفاع متوسط و بازگرداندن اثرات حذف شده در این نقطه، شتاب گرانی متوسط به‌دست می‌آید. روش عرضه شده به‌صورت عددی در منطقه جغرافیایی ایران آزمایش شده است.}, keywords_fa = {ارتفاع ارتومتریک,اسپیلاین‌های هماهنگ‌‌,ژئوئید,شتاب گرانی متوسط,مسئله مقدار مرزی ژئودتیک}, url = {https://jesphys.ut.ac.ir/article_24305.html}, eprint = {https://jesphys.ut.ac.ir/article_24305_d0ec4f535e5f26fbc67ccebdfac8b1fd.pdf} }
