Various data acquisition methods can provide sea surface heights more accurately. Similarly, hydrodynamic model data in conjunction with tide gauge readings allow the derivation of reliable dynamic topography. Geometrical marine geoid heights, independent of the usual gravity-based marine geoid models, can be obtained by removing the estimated dynamic topography from sea surface height measurements. This study exploits such geometry information to refine marine geoid models. A data assimilation approach was developed that iteratively combines sea surface height and dynamic topography datasets with an initial gravimetric geoid model. A case study is presented using sea surface heights from shipborne GNSS campaigns and an airborne laser scanning survey for refining the EIGEN-6C4 global geopotential model. Comparisons with a high-resolution regional marine geoid model reveal that the initial discrepancies of up to around two decimetres reduce to sub-decimetre within the study area. It is concluded that the developed iterative data assimilation approach can significantly improve the accuracy of marine geoid models, especially in regions where gravity data are of poor quality or unavailable.

A data set of 459,848 land gravity, 80,632 shipborne marine gravity data, DTU17 altimetry gravity model, and XGM2019e global geopotential model. The computation strategy followed for modelling of the gravimetric geoid is based on the Remove-Compute-Restore with Residual Terrain Model reduction and the 1D- Fast Fourier Transform approach technique. The geoid heights have been determined by using the Stokes integral with Wong–Gore modification. The accuracy of the resulting geoid models was evaluated by comparing them with 5385 GPS/levelling points. The geoid accuracy over all the kingdom is better than 11 cm in STD sense and the comparison in sub-areas obtained accuracy range from 2.8 to 11.9 cm according to the density of gravity observations.

Validating a new GNSS-based sea level instrument (CalNaGeo) at Senetosa Cape / Pascal Bonnefond in Marine geodesy, vol 45 n° 2 (March 2022)

The aim of the present study held in June 2015 is to validate a recently developed GNSS-based sea level instrument (called CalNaGeo) that is designed with the intention to map Sea Surface Heights (SSH) over large areas. This has been undertaken using the well-defined geodetic infrastructure deployed at Senetosa Cape, and involved the estimation of the stability of the waterline (and thus the instantaneous separation of a GNSS antenna from water level) as a function of the velocity at which the instrument is towed. The results show a largely linear relationship which is approximately 1 mm/(m/s) up to a maximum practical towing speed of ∼10 knots (∼5 m/s). By comparing to the existing “geoid” map, it is also demonstrated that CalNaGeo can measure a sea surface slope with a precision better than 1 mm/km (∼2.5% of the physical slope). Different processing techniques are used and compared including GNSS Precise Point Positioning (PPP, where the goal is to extend SSH mapping far from coastal GNSS reference stations) showing an agreement at the 1-2 cm level.

Validating geoid models with marine GNSS measurements, sea surface models, and additional gravity observations in the Gulf of Finland / Timo Saari in Marine geodesy, vol 44 n° 3 (May 2021)

As such benchmarks cannot be established offshore, marine areas of geoid models must be evaluated in a different way. In this research, we present a marine GNSS/gravity campaign where existing geoid models were validated at sea areas by GNSS measurements in combination with sea surface models. Additionally, a new geoid model, calculated using the newly collected marine gravity data, was validated. The campaign was carried out with the marine geology research catamaran Geomari (operated by the Geological Survey of Finland), which sailed back and forth the eastern part of the Finnish territorial waters of the Gulf of Finland during the early summer of 2018. From the GNSS and sea surface data we were able to obtain geoid heights at sea areas with an accuracy of a few centimetres. When the GNSS derived geoid heights are compared with geoid heights from the geoid models differences between the respective models are seen in the most eastern and southern parts of the campaign area. The new gravity data changed the geoid model heights by up to 15 cm in areas of sparse/non-existing gravity data.

Accurate sea surface heights from Sentinel-3A and Jason-3 retrackers by incorporating high-resolution marine geoid and hydrodynamic models / Mir Abolfazl Mostafavi in Journal of geodetic science, vol 11 n° 1 (January 2021)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodetic science > vol 11 n° 1 (January 2021) . - pp 58 - 74 Titre : Accurate sea surface heights from Sentinel-3A and Jason-3 retrackers by incorporating high-resolution marine geoid and hydrodynamic models Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Mir Abolfazl Mostafavi, Auteur ; Nicole Delpeche-Ellmann, Auteur ; Artu Ellmann, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 58 - 74 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] Baltique, mer [Termes IGN] données altimétriques [Termes IGN] données Jason [Termes IGN] geoïde marin [Termes IGN] hauteurs de mer [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-3 [Termes IGN] océanographie spatiale [Termes IGN] relief de la surface de la mer Résumé : (auteur) One of the major challenges of satellite altimetry (SA) is to produce accurate sea surface heights data up to the shoreline, especially in geomorphologically complex sea areas. New advanced retracking methods are expected to deliver better results. This study examines the achievable accuracy of Sentinel-3A (S3A) and Jason-3 (JA3) standard retrackers (Ocean and MLE4) with that of improved retrackers adapted for coastal and sea ice conditions (ALES+ SAR for S3A and ALES+ for JA3). The validation of SA data was performed by the integration of tidegauges, hydrodynamic model and high-resolution geoidmodel. The geoid being a key component that links the vertical reference datum of the SA with other utilized sources. The method is tested in the eastern section of Baltic Sea. The results indicate that on average reliable sea surface height (SSH) data can be obtained 2–3 km from the coast-line for S3A (for both Ocean and ALES+SAR) whilst an average distance of 7–10 km for JA3 (MLE4 and ALES+) with a minimum distance of 3–4 km. In terms of accuracy, the RMSE (with respect to a corrected hydrodynamic model) of S3A ALES+ SAR and Ocean retrackers based SSH were 4–5cm respectively, whereas with the JA3 ALES+ and MLE4 associated SSH RMSE of 6–7 cm can be achieved. The ALES+and ALES+ SAR retrackers show SSH improvement within a range of 0.5–1 cm compared to the standard retrackers. This assessment showed that the adaptation of localized retrackers for the Baltic Sea (ALES+ and ALES+SAR) produced more valid observation closer to the coast than the standard retrackers and also improved the accuracy of SSH data.
