In this contribution, we compute and compare quasigeoid models for Auvergne using Curtin University of Technology’s and the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology’s approaches. These approaches differ in many ways, such as their treatment of the input data, choice of type of spherical harmonic model (combined or satellite-only), form and sequence of correction terms applied, and different modified Stokes’s kernels (deterministic or stochastic). We have also compared our results with most of the previously reported studies over Auvergne in order to seek any improvements with respect to time [exceptions are when different subsets of data have been used]. All studies considered here compare the computed quasigeoid models with the same 75 GPS-levelling heights over Auvergne. The standard deviation for almost all of the computations (without any fitting) is of the order of 30–40 mm, so there is not yet any clear indication whether any approach is necessarily better than any other nor improving over time. We also recommend more standardisation on the presentation of quasi/geoid comparisons with GPS-levelling data so that results from different approaches over the same areas can be compared more objectively.

To this end, for the first time, a data-driven approach is introduced, which is based on Takens’s method within the sequential Monte Carlo framework, allowing for a model-free approach to filter noisy data. Both a Kalman-based filter and a particle filter (PF) are applied within this framework to investigate their impact on retrieving the signals. More specifically, PF and particle smoother [PaSm; to avoid confusion with persistent scatterers (PSs)] are tested for their ability to deal with non-Gaussian noise. A synthetic test based on simulated InSAR time series, as well as a real test, is designed to investigate the capability of the proposed approach compared with the spatiotemporal filtering of InSAR time series. Results indicate that PFs and more specifically PaSm perform better than other applied methods, as indicated by reduced errors in both tests. Two other variants of PF and adaptive unscented Kalman filter (AUKF) are presented and are found to be able to perform similar to PaSm but with reduced computation time. This article suggests that PFs tested here could be applied in InSAR processing chains.

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°.

AUSGeoid2020 combined gravimetric–geometric model : location-specific uncertainties and baseline-length-dependent error decorrelation / Nicholas J. Brown in Journal of geodesy, vol 92 n° 12 (December 2018)

This model is also provided with a location-specific uncertainty propagated from a combination of the levelling, GPS ellipsoidal height and gravimetric quasigeoid data errors via least squares prediction. We present a method for computing the relative uncertainty (i.e. uncertainty of the height between any two points) between AUSGeoid2020-derived AHD heights based on the principle of correlated errors cancelling when used over baselines. Results demonstrate AUSGeoid2020 is more accurate than traditional third-order levelling in Australia at distances beyond 3 km, which is 12 mm of allowable misclosure per square root km of levelling. As part of the above work, we identified an error in the gravimetric quasigeoid in Port Phillip Bay (near Melbourne in SE Australia) coming from altimeter-derived gravity anomalies. This error was patched using alternative altimetry data.

The first Australian gravimetric quasigeoid model with location-specific uncertainty estimates / Will E. Featherstone in Journal of geodesy, vol 92 n° 2 (February 2018)

The model has been extended to include Australia’s offshore territories and maritime boundaries using newer datasets comprising an additional ∼280,000 land gravity observations, a newer altimeter-derived marine gravity anomaly grid, and terrain corrections at 1′′×1′′ resolution. The error propagation uses a remove–restore approach, where the EGM2008 quasigeoid and gravity anomaly error grids are augmented by errors propagated through a modified Stokes integral from the errors in the altimeter gravity anomalies, land gravity observations and terrain corrections. The gravimetric quasigeoid errors (one sigma) are 50–60 mm across most of the Australian landmass, increasing to ∼100 mm in regions of steep horizontal gravity gradients or the mountains, and are commensurate with external estimates.
