World-wide estimate of gravity field was combined with estimate of geoid based on astrogeodetic data covering 19% of earth and with secular and long period variations of 1957 and 1958 Beta satellite orbits, into generalization of least-squares adjustments taking correlation into account; value obtained indicated that variance and covariance should be increased about 44%.
