Department of Geodesy, Institute of Geodesy, Lviv Polytechnic National University

The practical application of the method is annotated. GA Meshcheryakova for determining the poles of a spherical third-order function. The computed parameters of the Earth's octapole are presented. The octapoles of the Earth corresponding to the zonal and nonzone groups of third-order gravitational harmonics are discussed.
