This contribution deals with the derivation of explicit expressions of the gradients of first, second and third order of the gravitational potential. This is accomplished in the framework of tensor analysis which naturally allows to apply general formulae to the specific coordinate systems in use in geodesy. In particular it is recalled here that when the potential field is expressed in general coordinates...
