Its determination with the cm-level accuracy or better, in particular over dry land, belongs to major tasks of modern geodesy. Traditional data and underlined theory have significantly been affected in recent years by rapid advances in observation techniques. This study reviews gradients of the disturbing gravity potential, both currently available and foreseen, and systematically discusses mathematical models for geoid determination based on gradient data. Fundamentals required for geoid definition and its estimation from measured potential gradients are shortly reviewed at the beginning of the text. Then particular mathematical models based on solutions to boundary-value problems of the potential theory, which include both integral transforms and integral equations, are formulated. Properties of respective integral kernel functions are demonstrated and discussed. With the new mathematical models introduced, new research topics are opened which must be resolved in order to allow for their full-fledged applicability in geoid modelling. Stochastic modelling is also discussed which estimates gradient spatial resolution and accuracy required for geoid modelling with the cm-level accuracy. Results of stochastic modelling suggest that the cm-geoid can be estimated using available gradient data if related problems, namely reduction of gradient data for gravitational effects of all masses outside the geoid and their downward continuation, are solved at the same level of accuracy.

For this purpose, the geodetic boundary value problem (GBVP) solution based on the remove–compute–restore (RCR) technique is used. In the RCR technique, a global geopotential model (GGM) is required as a reference to remove and restore the long wavelengths of the gravity field. Since the GGMs do not have adequate accuracy over Iran, the IRHD offset is not precisely estimated by the GBVP solution. In this study, aiming to improve the latter, a combination solution based on the GBVP approach and spirit-leveling/gravimetry (LG) data, called the GBVP_LG solution, is proposed. To obtain the GBVP_LG solution, gravity potential obtained from the GBVP solution and the gravity potential differences derived from the LG data are used as two types of observations in a least-squares adjustment. The proper relative weight matrices are determined using the variance component estimation method. To evaluate the proposed method, the gravity potential differences between the start and end points of several check-lines in the leveling network derived from the GBVP and GBVP_LG solutions are compared with those of the LG data. The results show that the dependency of the GBVP_LG solution on the reference model used is much less than that of the GBVP solution. In addition, the results indicate that the GBVP_LG solution has a 42% improvement with respect to the GBVP solution in terms of root-mean-square error. As a result of the GBVP_LG solution, the gravity potential of the IRHD zero point is estimated equal to WIRHD0=62,636,855.89±0.16m2/s2. Therefore, the IRHD offset with respect to the geoid defined by W0=62,636,853.4m2/s2 is obtained equal to −25.4±1.6cm, which means that the IRHD is 25.4 cm below the geoid.

We derive error propagation formulas that take into account uncertainties in both the free air gravity anomaly and a digital elevation model. These are applied to generate G1 terms and their errors on a 1″ × 1″ grid over Australia. We use these to produce Molodensky gravity anomaly and accompanying uncertainty grids. These uncertainties have average value of 2 mGal with maximum of 54 mGal. We further calculate a gravimetric quasigeoid model by the remove–compute–restore technique. These Molodensky gravity anomaly uncertainties lead to quasigeoid uncertainties with a mean of 4 mm and maximum of 80 mm when propagated through a deterministically modified Stokes’s integral over an integration cap radius of 0.5°.

Geodesic equations and their numerical solution in Cartesian coordinates on a triaxial ellipsoid / Georgios Panou in Journal of geodetic science, vol 9 n° 1 (January 2019)

A new exact analytical method and a new numerical method of converting Cartesian to ellipsoidal coordinates of a point on a triaxial ellipsoid are presented. An extensive test set for the coordinate conversion is used, in order to evaluate the performance of the two methods. The direct geodesic problem on a triaxial ellipsoid is described as an initial value problem and is solved numerically in Cartesian coordinates. The solution provides the Cartesian coordinates and the angle between the line of constant λ and the geodesic, at any point along the geodesic. Also, the Liouville constant is computed at any point along the geodesic, allowing to check the precision of the method. An extensive data set of geodesics is used, in order to demonstrate the validity of the numerical method for the geodesic problem. We conclude that a complete, stable and precise solution of the problem is accomplished.

Vertical and horizontal spheroidal boundary-value problems / Michal Šprlák in Journal of geodesy, vol 92 n° 7 (July 2018)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 92 n° 7 (July 2018) . - pp 811 - 826 Titre : Vertical and horizontal spheroidal boundary-value problems Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Michal Šprlák, Auteur ; Natthachet Tangdamrongsub, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp 811 - 826 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] analyse harmonique [Termes IGN] gradient de gravitation [Termes IGN] problème des valeurs limites [Termes IGN] sphèroïde Résumé : (Auteur) Vertical and horizontal spheroidal boundary-value problems (BVPs), i.e., determination of the external gravitational potential from the components of the gravitational gradient on the spheroid, are discussed in this article. The gravitational gradient is decomposed into the series of the vertical and horizontal vector spheroidal harmonics, before being orthogonalized in a weighted sense by two different approaches. The vertical and horizontal spheroidal BVPs are then formulated and solved in the spectral and spatial domains. Both orthogonalization methods provide the same analytical solutions for the vertical spheroidal BVP, and give distinct, but equivalent, analytical solutions for the horizontal spheroidal BVP. A closed-loop simulation is performed to test the correctness of the analytical solutions, and we investigate analytical properties of the sub-integral kernels. The systematic treatment of the spheroidal BVPs and the resulting mathematical equations extend the theoretical apparatus of geodesy and of the potential theory.
