[Termes descripteurs IGN] principe d'équivalenceRésumé : (auteur) The weak equivalence principle (WEP), stating that two bodies of different compositions and/or mass fall at the same rate in a gravitational field (universality of free fall), is at the very foundation of general relativity. The MICROSCOPE mission aims to test its validity to a precision of 10−15, two orders of magnitude better than current on-ground tests, by using two masses of different compositions (titanium and platinum alloys) on a quasi-circular trajectory around the Earth. This is realised by measuring the accelerations inferred from the forces required to maintain the two masses exactly in the same orbit. Any significant difference between the measured accelerations, occurring at a defined frequency, would correspond to the detection of a violation of the WEP, or to the discovery of a tiny new type of force added to gravity. MICROSCOPE's first results show no hint for such a difference, expressed in terms of Eötvös parameter (both 1 uncertainties) for a titanium and platinum pair of materials. This result was obtained on a session with 120 orbital revolutions representing 7% of the current available data acquired during the whole mission. The quadratic combination of 1 uncertainties leads to a current limit on of about xxx.

[Termes descripteurs IGN] masseRésumé : (auteur) As changes in gravity are directly related to mass variability, satellite missions observing the Earth’s time varying gravity field are a unique tool for observing mass transport processes in the Earth system, such as the water cycle, rapid changes in the cryosphere, oceans, and solid Earth processes, on a global scale. The observation of Earth’s gravity field was successfully performed by the GRACE and GOCE satellite missions, and will be continued by the GRACE Follow-On mission. A comprehensive team of European scientists proposed the next-generation gravity field mission MOBILE in response to the European Space Agency (ESA) call for a Core Mission in the frame of Earth Explorer 10 (EE10). MOBILE is based on the innovative observational concept of a high-low tracking formation with micrometer ranging accuracy, complemented by new instrument concepts. Since a high-low tracking mission primarily observes the radial component of gravity-induced orbit perturbations, the error structure is close to isotropic. This geometry significantly reduces artefacts of previous along-track ranging low-low formations (GRACE, GRACE-Follow-On) such as the typical striping patterns. The minimum configuration consists of at least two medium-Earth orbiters (MEOs) at 10000 km altitude or higher, and one low-Earth orbiter (LEO) at 350-400 km. The main instrument is a laser-based distance or distance change measurement system, which is placed at the LEO. The MEOs are equipped either with passive reflectors or transponders. In a numerical closed-loop simulation, it was demonstrated that this minimum configuration is in agreement with the threshold science requirements of 5 mm equivalent water height (EWH) accuracy at 400 km wavelength, and 10 cm EWH at 200 km. MOBILE provides promising potential future perspectives by linking the concept to existing space infrastructure such as Galileo next-generation, as future element of the Copernicus/Sentinel programme, and holds the potential of miniaturization even up to swarm configurations. As such MOBILE can be considered as a precursor and role model for a sustained mass transport observing system from space.

[Termes descripteurs IGN] potentiel de pesanteur terrestreRésumé : (auteur) Clock comparisons with an uncertainty at the 10−18 in terms of relative frequency can provide a new kind of measurement to improve our knowledge of Earth’s gravity field and geoid. Instead of using state-of-the-art Earth’s gravitational field models to predict frequency shifts between distant clocks, they could permit determining geopotential differences at a centimeter-level accuracy, and question the possibility of studying geodynamic processes leading to very small vertical deformations or improve the unification of height systems. In our previous work dealing with the geopotential determination at high spatial resolution in mountainous regions, we have pointed out that clock-based geodetic observable can provide useful information at spatial scales beyond what is available from satellites and they could be used to fill areas not covered by the gravity data on the ground. Our synthetic simulations have shown that adding few clock-based potential data to a gravimetric data set can significantly improve the reconstruction of the geopotential. Therefore, it turns out there is a large variety of possible clock distribution allowing to reduce the reconstruction residuals, with different locations and number of clocks. In this work, we investigate ways to optimize clock network from a gravimetric data set in the Massif Central region in order to know where to put them to minimize the residuals and improve further the determination of the geopotential. To do that, we have used a multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA). Starting from a random initial population with different clock distributions, the algorithm selects clock locations with good chances of reproduction and reproduces the new generation of clock locations using genetic operators. The process depends on some objectives we want to reach in order to solve the optimization problem, and it is repeated several times for a given number of generations or until a solution considered as optimum is found. We show how GA can help to provide optimal solutions for a problem with a fixed and variable number of clock locations. We discuss the effect of different parameters, such as the way to define the objectives and the constrains of the problem, the quality of the clock network and the data.

Editeur : Saint-Mandé : Institut national de l'information géographique et forestière - IGN Année de publication : 2019 Projets : 1-Pas de projet / Conférence : AGU 2019 Fall Meeting 09/12/2019 13/12/2019 San Francisco Californie - Etats-Unis Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : (auteur) Imaging the spatial pattern of mantle flows and constraining their mass is one of the keys to understand the character of mantle convection inside the Earth, and its interactions with plate motions. The horizontal planform of the flows, their heterogeneity and mass transport at depth, are reflected in variations of the gravity field and seismic velocities, as well as deformations of the Earth's surface. Over ocean basins, these observables show an elusive medium-scale structure. A 1500-2000 km wavelength directional fabric following the present-day absolute plate motion is present in the Pacific Ocean in GRACE satellite gravity data (Hayn et al., 2012), while 2000-km wavelength slow shear velocity anomalies sharing a similar orientation are found in seismic tomography at upper mantle depths below the oceans (SEMUM2, French et al., 2013). Today, the dynamic processes at the origin of these observations remain unresolved.
Here, we develop a joint analysis of satellite gravity and bathymetry data together with the SEMUM2 seismic tomography model, in order to advance our understanding of upper to mid-mantle flows below the oceans. First, we enhance and reconstruct the medium-scale gravity and seafloor topography signals aligned with the present-day plate motion from an analysis of the rates of gravity vector variations and seafloor slopes. Then, we compare the obtained signals with the spatial distribution of shear velocity anomalies at depth. We show that slow velocity anomalies coincide with geoid lows, depressions in the seafloor topography, and mass excess in the mantle, in the Pacific ocean and part of the Indian ocean. We first consider a purely thermal interpretation of the seismic velocity variations, associated with medium-scale convective rolls in the upper to mid-mantle, a process able to only explain the observed geometry of anomalies. Investigating whether the needed mass excess arises from lithospheric or deeper sources, such as at the level of the 660-km interface, we conclude that it lies more likely within the slow velocity anomalies themselves, suggesting hot and dense structures. We finally discuss the possible meaning and implications of these results.Numéro de notice : C2019-058 Affiliation des auteurs : Géodésie+Ext (mi2018-2019) Thématique : POSITIONNEMENT Nature : Poster nature-HAL : Poster-avec-CL DOI : sans Permalink : https://documentation.ensg.eu/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=96896 An analysis of gravitational gradients in rotated frames and their relation to oriented mass sources / Isabelle Panet in Journal of geophysical research : Solid Earth, vol 123 n° 12 (December 2018)

[Termes descripteurs IGN] repère de référenceRésumé : (auteur) Many mass sources within the Earth and its fluid envelopes show elongated geometries, aligning with the orientations of plate boundaries and plate motions, coastlines, rivers, and drainage basins for instance. To enhance their identification and separation in global or regional gravity observations and models, a dedicated method based on gravitational gradients analysis is presented here. This approach provides a detailed description of the geographic pattern of the gravity variations, which are accurately mapped thanks to the regular spatial coverage of high‐accuracy satellite data and arise from lateral density changes within the planet. First, gravity gradients are defined at different spatial scales in spherical frames, which are rotated along the radial axis according to the orientation of the source. The sensitivity of these gradients to the mass distribution inside a spherical Earth is described and analytical expressions relating the source to the observable are introduced. Then, the gravity gradients responses at different spatial scales to flat, elementary mass sources located at the surface and at increasing depth are studied. Specifically, the paper investigates how a source width and orientation can be determined, for localized and oscillatory mass anomalies with different width‐to‐length aspect ratios. This theoretical case study aims at providing a basis for the analysis of more complex mass structures, when applying the presented method to static or time‐varying satellite gravity field models. It may help deciphering the nature of the gravity sources by the detection of meaningful geometries and orientations in the gravity field.
