Abstract. A reproducing-kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) of functions harmonic in the set outside a sphere with radius R0, having a reproducing kernel K0(P,Q) is considered (P, Q, and later Pn being points in the set of harmonicity). The degree variances of this kernel will be denoted σ0n.The set of Riesz representers associated with the evaluation functionals (or gravity functionals) related to distinct points Pn,n = 1,…,N, on a two-dimensional surface surrounding the bounding sphere, will be linearly independent. These functions are used to define a new N-dimensional RKHS with kernel (an>0)
If the points all are located on a concentric sphere with radius R1>R0, and form an ε-net covering the sphere, and an are suitable area elements (depending on N), then this kernel will converge towards an isotropic kernel with degree variances
Consequently, if KN(P,Q) is required to represent an isotropic covariance function of the Earth's gravity potential, COV(P,Q), σ0n can be selected so that σn becomes equal to the empirical degree variances.If the points are chosen at varying radial distances Rn>R0, then an anisotropic kernel, or equivalent covariance function representation, can be constructed. If the points are located in a bounded region, the kernel may be used to modify the original kernel
Values of anisotropic covariance functions constructed based on these ideas are calculated, and some initial ideas are presented on how to select the points Pn.
