%X Li and Wang recently compared geoid determination by various gravimetric methods for modifying Stokes' formula vs. using GPS/levelling geoid heights as a reference model. Possible large systematic errors in the differences of gravimetric and GPS/levelling geoid models deteriorate the results and conclusions. Moreover, spectral combination, the only stochastic method in the study, was applied in an unrealistic way.
