    Abstract: The main purpose of this work is to evaluate the annual mean correlations of vertical total electron content provided by GPS, Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE), Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Polytechnical University of Catalonia (UPC) and European Space Agency (ESA) data centers. The comparisons are aimed at comparability of the di... Show More

    Abstract: With the aim of improving the Jupiter equilibrium liquid model consisting of two distorted spheroids (“spheroidals”) of our last paper, we generalize it here to any number l of layers, demanding that the calculated gravitational moments, J2n (n=1,.., 4), agree with those surveyed by the Juno mission, which is fulfilled with a much higher accuracy t...
