These new data call for the development of innovant analysis and interpretation methods. Here we combine a forward prism computation with a Bayesian resolution approach to invert for these gravity gradient data configuration. We apply and test our new method on satellite data configuration, that is 225 km height with a global and homogeneous geographic distribution. We first quantify the resolution of our method according to both data and parametrization characteristics. It appears that for reasonable density contrast values (0.1 g cm−3) crustal structures have to be wider than ∼28 km to be detectable in the GOCE signal. Deeper bodies are distinguishable for greater size (35 km size at 50 km depth, ∼80 km at 300 km depth). We invert the six tensor components, among which five are independent. By carefully testing each of them and their different combinations, we enlighten a trade off between the recovery of data and the sensitivity to inversion parameters. We particularly discussed this characteristic in terms of geometry of the synthetic model tested (structures orientation, 3-D geometry, etc.). In terms of RMS value, each component is always better explained if inverted solely, but the result is strongly affected by the inversion parametrization (smoothing, variances, etc.). On the contrary, the simultaneous inversion of several components displays a significant improvement for the global tensor recovery, more dependent on data than on density variance or on smoothness control. Comparing gravity and gradient inversions, we highlight the superiority of the GG data to better reproduce the structures especially in terms of vertical location. We successfully test our method on a realistic case of a complex subduction case for both gradient and gravity data. While the imaging of small crustal structures requires terrestrial gravity data set, the longest wavelength of the slab is well recovered with both data sets. The precision and homogeneous coverage of GOCE data however, counterbalance the heterogeneous and often quite non-existence coverage of terrestrial gravity data. This is particularly true in large areas which requires a coherent assemblage of heterogeneous data sets, or in high relief, vegetally covered and offshore zones.

Break detection and outlierremoval have been automated so that decades of daily measurements from thousands of stations can beprocessed in a few hours. New measurements are added, and parameters are updated every week. Modelparameters allow separation of interseismic, annual, coseismic, and postseismic signals. Tools availablethrough GeoGateway (http://geo-gateway.org) allow rapid visualization and analysis of these terms forresults that can be subsetted in time or space. Results show highly variable and nonlinear motion for GPSstations in southern California. The variable motion is related to seasonal motions, distributed tectonicmotion, earthquakes, and postseismic motions that can continue for years. In some areas results suggest thatadditional processes are responsible for the observed motions. In general, following earthquakes, stationsreturn to their longterm motions after 2–3 years, though some exceptions occur. The use of the tools showsnonlinear motion in the Salton Trough of southern California related to the 2010 M7.2 El MayorCucapahearthquake, 2012 Brawley earthquake swarm, and a creep event on the Superstition Hills fault in 2017.

A generalized theory of the figure of the Earth : formulae / Chengli Huang in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 3 (March 2019)

However, the Earth, known with a complex distribution of interior material and density, especially in the upper mantle and the crust, cannot be treated as a symmetric sphere. Recently, a CRUST1.0 model of crust layer is published and well accepted. But the effect caused by the asymmetric crust (and mantle) on equilibrium figures of the Earth cannot be analyzed by the traditional theories. A generalized theory of the figure of the Earth to third-order precision is firstly proposed in this paper, as well as the iterative calculation strategy to solve the complex equation system. In order to validate this generalized theory, the degeneration of this generalized theory with the PREM model is made and is compared with traditional theories, and it is shown that the result of this generalized theory, after degeneration, is consistent very well with traditional theory. Meanwhile, the effect (including both the direct and indirect effects) of the crust layer, from the CRUST1.0 model, on the figures of equipotential surfaces of the Earth’s interior, as well as their effects on the global dynamics flattening, will be presented as an application of this theory in accompanying paper.

A generalized theory of the figure of the Earth : on the global dynamical flattening / Chenjun Liu in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 3 (March 2019)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 93 n° 3 (March 2019) . - pp 319 - 331 Titre : A generalized theory of the figure of the Earth : on the global dynamical flattening Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Chenjun Liu, Auteur ; Chengli Huang, Auteur ; Yu Liu, Auteur ; Mian Zhang, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 319 - 331 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie [Termes descripteurs IGN] aplatissement [Termes descripteurs IGN] croute terrestre [Termes descripteurs IGN] isostasie [Termes descripteurs IGN] manteau terrestre [Termes descripteurs IGN] moment d'inertie [Termes descripteurs IGN] noyau terrestre [Termes descripteurs IGN] rotation de la Terre Résumé : (Auteur) A generalized theory of the figures of the Earth’s interior to a third-order precision of ellipticity is proposed in accompanying paper in which all the odd degree and nonzero order spherical harmonic terms are included. As both the direct and indirect contributions of the asymmetric crust are included, this theory makes a significant improvement for calculating the asymmetric equilibrium figures of the real Earth comparing with the traditional theories which can only deal with the ideal symmetric Earth. The principal moments of inertia (PMOI: A, B, C) and global dynamical flattening (H) are important quantities in studying the rotating Earth. Precession and gravity observations give observation value of H (Hobs≈1/305.4559) with very high precision, while its theoretical calculated value (Htheory≈1/308.5) from traditional theories and a starting symmetric Earth model (like PREM model) is about 1% less than Hobs. Using the new theory in accompanying paper and replacing the homogeneous outermost crust and oceanic layers in PREM with CRUST1.0 model, we recalculate the equilibrium figures of the Earth’s interior and finally get new values of PMOI and Htheory (≈1/304.7167) whose consistency with Hobs are significantly improved to 0.24%. Furthermore, the asymmetric figures of some interesting boundaries, like inner core boundary, core-mantle boundary, are also given as by-products of this work as these boundaries’ figures are key input for studies of their topographic effect on global rotation and geodynamics, like nutation, normal modes, especially like free core nutation.

Reconciling upper mantle seismic velocity and density structure below ocean basins / Isabelle Panet (2019)

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.
