Abstract This paper attempts to achieve accurate results for the downward-continuation. In the paper the detailed characters of the standard Poisson kernel and the Molodensky-Poisson kernel are analyzed. The truncation error of the far-zone contribution is estimated. The relations of the height, the truncation radius and degree are analyzed in the downward-continuation of the gravity anomalies. The results suggest that the Molodensky-Poisson kernel can reduce the far-zone contribution. The height is less than 3 km and the truncation radius is more than 0.5°. The truncation error estimated at less than 1 mGal| when the truncation radius reaches 1°, the truncation error estimate achieves an accuracy of 10 μGal. Hence it ensures the accuracy of the geoid reach to the 1 cm level.
