Abstract: This paper presents a method for the approximation of harmonic potentials that combines downward continuation of globally available data on a sphere

O m e g a_{R}

of radius

R

(e.g., a satellite's orbit) with locally available data on a sphere

O m e g a_{r}

of radius

r < R

(e.g., the spherical Earth's surface). The approximation is based on a two-step algorithm motivated by spherical multiscale expansions: First, a convolution with a scaling kernel

P h i_{N}

deals with the downward continuation from

O m e g a_{R}

to

O m e g a_{r}

, while in a second step, the result is locally refined by a convolution on

O m e g a_{r}

with a wavelet kernel

i l d e {P s i}_{N}

. Different from earlier multiscale approaches, it is not the primary goal to obtain an adaptive spatial localization but to simultaneously optimize the related kernels

P h i_{N}

,

i l d e {P s i}_{N}

in such a way that the former behaves well for the downward continuation while the latter shows a good localization on

O m e g a_{r}

in the region where data is available. The concept is indicated for scalar as well as vector potentials.
