The aim of this experiment was to clarify the repeatability of gravity potential values as International Height Reference System (IHRS) coordinates from different geoid determination approaches carried out with the same input dataset. The dataset included the terrestrial and airborne gravity observations, a digital terrain model, the XGM2016 global geopotential model and GPS/leveling data for model validations belonging to a mountainous area of approximately 550 km × 730 km in Colorado, US. The dataset was provided by National Geodetic Survey (NGS) department. In this frame, this article aims providing a discussion on Colorado geoid modeling through individual experimental results obtained by Istanbul Technical University-Gravity Research Group (ITU-GRG). This contribution mainly focused on modeling the Colorado geoid using the least squares modifications of Stokes and Hotine integral formulas with additive corrections. The computations using each formula were carried out using ITU-GRG software, including the solution variants based on terrestrial-only, airborne-only and combined gravity datasets. Then, the calculated experimental geoid models were validated using historical and recently measured profile-based GPS/leveling datasets, and they were also compared with the official solutions submitted by different institutions for the “1-cm geoid experiment” of IAG JWG 2.2.2. For all validation results, the Hotine and Stokes integral formulas yielded similar performances in terms of geoid accuracy; however, the models computed using the combined data had better accuracy than those using the terrestrial-only and airborne-only solutions. The geoid model solutions using the combined data had an accuracy of 2.69 cm for the Hotine method and 2.87 cm for the Stokes method in the test results using GPS/leveling data of the GSVS17 (Geoid Slope Validation Survey 2017) profile. Airborne data from the Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) project contributed significantly towards improving the geoid model, especially in the mountainous parts of the area.

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.

The four independent estimates of ΔC21 and ΔS21 variations agree well over a broad band of frequencies. The GRACE/GFO Release 6 (RL06) solutions show major improvements over the previous RL05 solutions at both seasonal and intra-seasonal time scales, when compared with EOP and SLR estimates. Among the four independent estimates, highest correlation coefficients and smallest RMS residuals are found between GRACE/GFO and EOP estimates of ΔC21 and ΔS21 variations. GRACE/GFO and EOP ΔC21 and ΔS21 estimates exhibit slightly different trends, which are related to the implementation and interpretation of the pole tide correction in GRACE/GFO data processing. This study provides an important early validation of GFO ΔC21 and ΔS21 solutions, especially the new pole tide correction applied in GRACE/GFO RL06 solutions using independent estimates.

Assessment of mass-induced sea level variability in the Tropical Indian Ocean based on GRACE and altimeter observations / Shiva Shankar Manche in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 2 (February 2021)

Two steric sea levels were estimated from the ocean model analysis and Argo gridded temperature and salinity fields. These datasets were consistent with each other and to the altimeter measured sea level records. They exhibited a coherent seasonal cycle with unique spatial patterns of amplitude maxima associated with annual and semi-annual harmonics. Steric component remained as a major contributor to the sea level variability at all the time scales. Addition of the GRACE measured MISL to the steric sea level improved the estimation of sea level (as measured by satellite altimeter) over most part of the TIO except over the northern part of the Arabian Sea. It was observed that the MISL had a significant contribution to the sea level variability at intra-seasonal and seasonal time scales and a minor contribution to the sea level inter-annual variability. During all the El Niño years, sea level underwent a large fluctuation coherent to the steric component. A linear barotropic vortex conservation model driven by ocean surface winds explained a major part of the observed MISL high-frequency variability in the Equatorial and southern TIO, and overestimated the observation in the northern TIO.

Error propagation in regional geoid computation using spherical splines, least-squares collocation, and Stokes’s formula / Vegard Ophaug in Journal of geodesy, vol 94 n° 12 (December 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 94 n° 12 (December 2020) . - n° 120 Titre : Error propagation in regional geoid computation using spherical splines, least-squares collocation, and Stokes’s formula Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Vegard Ophaug, Auteur ; Christian Gerlach, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : n° 120 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] altitude [Termes IGN] collocation par moindres carrés [Termes IGN] covariance [Termes IGN] erreur [Termes IGN] fonction spline [Termes IGN] formule de Stokes [Termes IGN] géoïde local [Termes IGN] propagation d'erreur Résumé : (auteur) Current International Association of Geodesy efforts within regional geoid determination include the comparison of different computation methods in the quest for the “1-cm geoid.” Internal (formal) and external (empirical) approaches to evaluate geoid errors exist, and ideally they should agree. Spherical radial base functions using the spline kernel (SK), least-squares collocation (LSC), and Stokes’s formula are three commonly used methods for regional geoid computation. The three methods have been shown to be theoretically equivalent, as well as to numerically agree on the millimeter level in a closed-loop environment using synthetic noise-free data (Ophaug and Gerlach in J Geod 91:1367–1382, 2017. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00190-017-1030-1PANIST). This companion paper extends the closed-loop method comparison using synthetic data, in that we investigate and compare the formal error propagation using the three methods. We use synthetic uncorrelated and correlated noise regimes, both on the 1-mGal (=10−5 ms−2) level, applied to the input data. The estimated formal errors are validated by comparison with empirical errors, as determined from differences of the noisy geoid solutions to the noise-free solutions. We find that the error propagations of the methods are realistic in both uncorrelated and correlated noise regimes, albeit only when subjected to careful tuning, such as spectral band limitation and signal covariance adaptation. For the SKs, different implementations of the L-curve and generalized cross-validation methods did not provide an optimal regularization parameter. Although the obtained values led to a stabilized numerical system, this was not necessarily equivalent to obtaining the best solution. Using a regularization parameter governed by the agreement between formal and empirical error fields provided a solution of similar quality to the other methods. The errors in the uncorrelated regime are on the level of ∼5 mm and the method agreement within 1 mm, while the errors in the correlated regime are on the level of ∼10 mm, and the method agreement within 5 mm. Stokes’s formula generally gives the smallest error, closely followed by LSC and the SKs. To this effect, we note that error estimates from integration and estimation techniques must be interpreted differently, because the latter also take the signal characteristics into account. The high level of agreement gives us confidence in the applicability and comparability of formal errors resulting from the three methods. Finally, we present the error characteristics of geoid height differences derived from the three methods and discuss them qualitatively in relation to GNSS leveling. If applied to real data, this would permit identification of spatial scales for which height information is preferably derived by spirit leveling or GNSS leveling.
