Theoretical tools for relativistic gravimetry, gradiometry and chronometric geodesy and application to a parameterized post-Newtonian metric

Abstract

An extensive review of past work on relativistic gravimetry, gradiometry and chronometric geodesy is given. Then, general theoretical tools are presented and applied for the case of a stationary parameterized post-Newtonian metric. The special case of a stationary clock on the surface of the Earth is studied.
