Description

This archive contains published spherical harmonic models of the gravity field of Jupiter. The coefficients are to be used with unnormalized spherical harmonic functions that exclude the Condon-Shortely phase factor of (-1)^m, and the file is formatted in a manner to be read by the pyshtools software (using format='shtools'). The header of the file contains the reference radius, GM, GM uncertainty, and maximum degree of the spherical harmonic expansion (all in SI units).
