The purpose of this thesis is to compute and to evaluate the geoid model in the State of São Paulo from two methodologies (Stokes’ integral through the Fast Fourier Transform FFT and Least Squares Collocation – LSC). Another objective of this study is to verify the potentiality of GOCE-based. Therefore, a brief study about mathematical foundations and fundamentals of Physical Geodesy is carried out. Some features of the Global Geopotential Models (GGMs) are discussed, as well as an overview of the new gravimetric missions. A special attention is given to GOCE mission. The theory related to Stokes’ integral and Least Squares Collocation is also discussed in this work. The spectral decomposition was employed in the geoid models computation and the long wavelength component was represented by EGM2008 up to degree and order 150 and 360 and GOCE-based models up to 150. The models were compared in terms of geoid height residual and absolute and relative comparisons from GPS/leveling and the results show consistency between them. Also, a comparison in the mountain regions was carried out to verify the methodologies behavior in this area; the results showed that LSC is less consistent than FFT. Regarding GOCE-based models, 13 were tested, besides EGM2008. The evaluation was performed in terms of geoid height comparison obtained by GGMs over GPS/leveling and in terms of gravity disturbance. The evaluation shows that DIR _R3 and TIM_R3 presented more compatible results. The reason for the choice of São Paulo state is that there are a lot of geodetic activities and important engineering works that require the use of a height system. Furthermore, there are a lot of gravity and GPS/leveling data all around the state.
