[Termes IGN] viscositéRésumé : (auteur) The Earth's surface was depressed under the weight of ice during the last glaciations. Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) induces the slow recession of the trough that is left after deglaciation and is responsible for a contemporary uplift rate of more than 1 cm/yr around Hudson Bay. The present-day residual depression, an indicator of still-ongoing GIA, is difficult to identify in the observed topography, which is predominantly sensitive to crustal heterogeneities. According to the most widespread GIA models, which feature a viscosity of 2–3×1021 Pa s2–3×1021 Pa s on top of the lower mantle, the trough is approximately 100 m deep and cannot explain the observed gravity anomalies across North America. These large anomalies are therefore usually attributed to subcontinental density heterogeneities in the tectosphere or to slab downwelling in the deep mantle.
Here, we use observed gravity gradients (GG) to show that the uncompensated GIA trough is four times larger than expected and that it is the main source of the North American static gravity signal. We search for the contribution to these GGs from mantle mass anomalies, which are deduced from seismic tomography and are mechanically coupled to the global mantle flow. This contribution is found to be small over Laurentia, and at least 82% of the GGs are caused by GIA. Such a contribution from GIA in these GG observations implies a viscosity that is greater than 1022 Pa s1022 Pa s in the lower mantle.
Our conclusions are a plea for GIA models with a highly viscous lower mantle, which confirm inferences from mantle dynamic models. Any change in GIA modelling has important paleoclimatological and environmental implications, encouraging scientists to re-evaluate the past ice history at a global scale. These implications, in turn, affect the contribution of bedrock uplift to the contemporaneous mass balance over Antarctica and Greenland and thus the present-day ice-melting rate as deduced from the GRACE space mission. Additionally, studies of the thermo-chemical structure of the lithosphere/crust under North America that exploit gravity or geodetic data should be corrected for a GIA model, which is not the case today.Numéro de notice : A2016-906 Affiliation des auteurs : LASTIG LAREG+Ext (2012-mi2018) Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Article nature-HAL : ArtAvecCL-RevueIntern DOI : 10.1016/j.epsl.2016.07.034 Date de publication en ligne : 16/08/2016 En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2016.07.034 Format de la ressource électronique : URL article Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=83034

[Termes IGN] télémétrie laser sur satelliteRésumé : (auteur) W0 is defined as the potential value of a particular level surface of the Earth’s gravity field called the geoid. Since the most accepted definition of the geoid is understood to be the equipotential surface that coincides with the worldwide mean ocean surface, a usual approximation of W0 is the averaged potential value WS at the mean sea surface. In this way, the value of W0 depends not only on the Earth’s gravity field modelling, but also on the conventions defining the mean sea surface. W0 computations performed since 2005 demonstrate that current published estimations differ by up to −2.6 m2 s−2 (corresponding to a level difference of about 27 cm), which could be caused by the differences in the treatment of the input data. The main objective of this study is to perform a new W0 estimation relying on the newest gravity field and sea surface models and applying standardised data and procedures. This also includes a detailed description of the processing procedure to ensure the reproducibility of the results. The following aspects are analysed in this paper: (1) sensitivity of the W0 estimation to the Earth’s gravity field model (especially omission and commission errors and time-dependent Earth’s gravity field changes); (2) sensitivity of the W0 estimation to the mean sea surface model (e.g., geographical coverage, time-dependent sea surface variations, accuracy of the mean sea surface heights); (3) dependence of the W0 empirical estimation on the tide system; and (4) weighted computation of the W0 value based on the input data quality. Main conclusions indicate that the satellite-only component (n=200) of a static (quasi-stationary) global gravity model is sufficient for the computation of W0. This model should, however, be based on a combination of, at least, satellite laser ranging (SLR), GRACE and GOCE data. The mean sea surface modelling should be based on mean sea surface heights referring to a certain epoch and derived from a standardised multi-mission cross-calibration of several satellite altimeters. We suggest that the uncertainties caused by geographically correlated errors, including shallow waters in coastal areas and sea water ice content at polar regions should be considered in the computation of W0 by means of a weighed adjustment using the inverse of the input data variances as a weighting factor. This weighting factor should also include the improvement provided by SLR, GRACE and GOCE to the gravity field modelling. As a reference parameter, W0 should be time-independent (i.e., quasi-stationary) and it should remain fixed for a long-term period (e.g., 20 years). However, it should have a clear relationship with the mean sea surface level (as this is the convention for the realisation of the geoid). According to this, a suitable recommendation is to adopt a potential value obtained for a certain epoch as the reference value W0 and to monitor the changes of the mean potential value at the sea surface WS. When large differences appear between W0 and WS (e.g., >±2 m2 s−2), the adopted W0 may be replaced by an updated (best estimate) value. In this paper, the potential value obtained for the epoch 2010.0 (62,636,853.4 m2 s−2) is recommended as the present best estimate for the W0 value. It differs −2.6 m2 s−2 from the so-called IERS W0 value (62,636,856.0 m2 s−2), which corresponds to the best estimate available in 1998.

[Termes IGN] rocheRésumé : (auteur) In gravity forward modelling, the concept of Rock-Equivalent Topography (RET) is often used to simplify the computation of gravity implied by rock, water, ice and other topographic masses. In the RET concept, topographic masses are compressed (approximated) into equivalent rock, allowing the use of a single constant mass–density value. Many studies acknowledge the approximate character of the RET, but few have attempted yet to quantify and analyse the approximation errors in detail for various gravity field functionals and heights of computation points. Here, we provide an in-depth examination of approximation errors associated with the RET compression for the topographic gravitational potential and its first- and second-order derivatives. Using the Earth2014 layered topography suite we apply Newtonian integration in the spatial domain in the variants (a) rigorous forward modelling of all mass bodies, (b) approximative modelling using RET. The differences among both variants, which reflect the RET approximation error, are formed and studied for an ensemble of 10 different gravity field functionals at three levels of altitude (on and 3 km above the Earth’s surface and at 250 km satellite height). The approximation errors are found to be largest at the Earth’s surface over RET compression areas (oceans, ice shields) and to increase for the first- and second-order derivatives. Relative errors, computed here as ratio between the range of differences between both variants relative to the range in signal, are at the level of 0.06–0.08 % for the potential, ∼3–7 % for the first-order derivatives at the Earth’s surface (∼0.1 % at satellite altitude). For the second-order derivatives, relative errors are below 1 % at satellite altitude, at the 10–20 % level at 3 km and reach maximum values as large as ∼20 to 110 % near the surface. As such, the RET approximation errors may be acceptable for functionals computed far away from the Earth’s surface or studies focussing on the topographic potential only. However, for derivatives of the functionals computed near the Earth’s surface, the use of RET introduces very spurious errors, in some cases as large as the signal, rendering it useless for smoothing or reducing of field observation, thus rigorous mass modelling should be used for both spatial and spectral domain methods.

[Termes IGN] vitesseRésumé : (auteur) We consider the well-known problem of the forward computation of the gradient of the gravitational potential generated by a mass density distribution of general 3D geometry. Many methods have been developed for given geometries, and the computation time often appears as a limiting practical issue for considering large or complex problems. In this work, we develop a fast method to carry out this computation, where a tetrahedral mesh is used to model the mass density distribution. Depending on the close- or long-range nature of the involved interactions, the algorithm automatically switches between analytic integration formulae and numerical quadratic formulae, and relies on the Fast Multipole Method to drastically increase the computation speed of the long-range interactions. The parameters of the algorithm are empirically chosen for the computations to be the fastest possible while guarantying a given relative accuracy of the result. Computations that would load many-core clusters for days can now be carried out on a desk computer in minutes. The computation of the contribution of topographical masses to the Earth’s gravitational field at the altitude of the GOCE satellite and over France are proposed as numerical illustrations of the method.
