Various data acquisition methods can provide sea surface heights more accurately. Similarly, hydrodynamic model data in conjunction with tide gauge readings allow the derivation of reliable dynamic topography. Geometrical marine geoid heights, independent of the usual gravity-based marine geoid models, can be obtained by removing the estimated dynamic topography from sea surface height measurements. This study exploits such geometry information to refine marine geoid models. A data assimilation approach was developed that iteratively combines sea surface height and dynamic topography datasets with an initial gravimetric geoid model. A case study is presented using sea surface heights from shipborne GNSS campaigns and an airborne laser scanning survey for refining the EIGEN-6C4 global geopotential model. Comparisons with a high-resolution regional marine geoid model reveal that the initial discrepancies of up to around two decimetres reduce to sub-decimetre within the study area. It is concluded that the developed iterative data assimilation approach can significantly improve the accuracy of marine geoid models, especially in regions where gravity data are of poor quality or unavailable.

Because the vertical accuracy of global DEMs differs across regions due to various reasons, acquiring reliable heights for a region using global height models is crucial. The objective of this study is to compare and assess the most reliable global height model for Sri Lanka. The official height system in Sri Lanka is the Mean Sea Level (MSL) based orthometric height system. In this study, the quality of ASTER, SRTM, NASADEM, MERIT, and DEMs compiled from digitized contour data of Sri Lanka was evaluated using the known heights of the Fundamental Benchmarks (FBMs) of Sri Lanka. In addition, recently published high-resolution Global Geopotential Models (GGMs) were used for the accuracy assessments of gravity related quantities computed using DEMs. The SGG-UGM-2 GGM, which showed the minimum STD and RMSE of geoid undulation difference was found as the best fit GGM over Sri Lanka. It was found that the NASADEM at its highest resolution, which gave the lowest RMSE of 2.954 m was the best global DEM for Sri Lanka.

Modeling the gravitational effects of ocean tide loading at coastal stations in the China earthquake gravity network based on GOTL software / Chuandong Zhu in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 17 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inJournal of applied geodesy > vol 17 n° 1 (January 2023) . - pp 15 - 27 Titre : Modeling the gravitational effects of ocean tide loading at coastal stations in the China earthquake gravity network based on GOTL software Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Chuandong Zhu, Auteur ; Liuqing Pang, Auteur ; Didi Sheng, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : pp 15 - 27 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] champ de pesanteur local [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] fonction de Green [Termes IGN] littoral [Termes IGN] marée océanique [Termes IGN] modèle de géopotentiel [Termes IGN] modèle numérique de surface [Termes IGN] surcharge océanique Résumé : (auteur) The gravitational effects of ocean tide loading, which are one of the main factors affecting gravity measurements, consist of three components: (1) direct attraction from the tidal water masses, (2) radial displacement of the observing station due to the tidal load, and (3) internal redistribution of masses due to crustal deformation. In this study, software for gravitational effects of ocean tide loading was developed by evaluating a convolution integral between the ocean tide model and Green’s functions that describe the response of the Earth to tide loading. The effects of three-dimensional station coordinates, computational grid patterns, ocean tide models, Green’s functions, coastline, and local tide gauge were comprehensively considered in the programming process. Using a larger number of high-precision coastlines, ocean tide models, and Green’s functions, the reliability and applicability of the software were analyzed at coastal stations in the China Earthquake Gravity Network. The software can provide the amplitude and phase for ocean tide loading and produce a predicted gravity time series. The results can effectively reveal the variation characteristics of ocean tide loading in space and time. The computational gravitational effects of ocean tide loading were compared and analyzed for different ocean tide models and Green’s functions. The results show that different ocean tide models and Green’s functions have certain effects on the calculated values of loading gravity effects. Furthermore, a higher-precision local ocean tide model, digital elevation model, and local tidal gauge record can be further imported into our software to improve the accuracy of loading gravity effects in the global and local zones. The software is easy to operate and can provide a comprehensive platform for correcting the gravitational effects of ocean tide loading at stations in the China Earthquake Gravity Network.

On study of the Earth topography correction for the GRACE surface mass estimation / Fan Yang in Journal of geodesy, vol 96 n° 12 (December 2022)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > vol 96 n° 12 (December 2022) . - n° 95 Titre : On study of the Earth topography correction for the GRACE surface mass estimation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Fan Yang, Auteur ; Zhicai Luo, Auteur ; Hao Zhou, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 95 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes IGN] champ de pesanteur terrestre [Termes IGN] données GRACE [Termes IGN] formule de Stokes [Termes IGN] géoïde gravimétrique [Termes IGN] itération [Termes IGN] masse de la Terre [Termes IGN] topographie Résumé : (auteur) Traditional conversion from gravity Stokes coefficients into the surface mass, e.g., in the GRACE(-FO) applications, presumes the Earth as a perfect sphere that is apparently against the reality. Recent studies manage to correct the conversion by considering the Earth’s oblateness, in another word, the Earth is treated as an ellipsoid. However, the Earth’s geometry is far more complicated due to the topography, so that neither a sphere nor an ellipsoid is exact. Evidences from recent studies and this one demonstrate that any geometrical approximation of the Earth shape like a presumed sphere will inevitably lead to a bias in the surface mass estimation from GRACE gravity fields, resulting in a possible misinterpretation of geophysical signals that may occur in polar regions or mountain areas. In this context, we propose an iterative scaling factor method to numerically realize a more accurate surface mass estimate, considering a more realistic geometry of the Earth including its oblateness, topography and geoid undulation. Verified with a series of simulations, the proposed method is found to be efficient (less than four iterations), reliable (after a broad range of tests) and universally accurate (reducing at least 80% of the bias). Relative to our method, the mean linear trend in 2002–2015 estimated from GRACE under an ideal spherical Earth is found to be underestimated by about 3.1% and 5.5% over Greenland and West Antarctica, respectively. Among the trend underestimation, the topography-related contribution takes up − 0.5% (0.79 Gt/yr, the negative sign denotes an overestimation) and − 0.4% (0.34 Gt/yr), respectively. Although the value is small, it is a systematic bias worth considering, for example, it is greater than the influence (0.3 Gt/yr on the trend estimation over West Antarctica) by switching atmospherical de-aliasing products from RL05 to RL06. Besides, the topography-induced bias rapidly increases to 2.7% (0.26 mm/yr) at mountain Himalayas, which is even larger than the ellipsoid-induced bias (0.19 mm/yr). Based on the results obtained so far, the topography-induced bias is found to be roughly one order of magnitude smaller than GRACE’s present measurement error; nevertheless, it will be relevant once the GRACE is improved toward its baseline accuracy. In particular, the topography correction should be considered for NGGM that expects to map the Earth gravity field in an unprecedented accuracy and spatial resolution.

To improve the accuracy of a local geoid the global geopotential model and local terrain effect should be incorporated. The geoid model was improved based on the modelling of geoid residuals using three MLs. Minimax Probability Machine Regression (MPMR), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) MLs were developed for modelling the calculated geoid residuals. The results show that the accuracy of the three MLs was improved compared to previous studies, and the accuracy of the GPR model was better than the other models. The standard deviations of Kuwait geoid undulation determined by GPS/Levelling, gravimetric, and developed GPR models were 1.377, 1.375, 1.375 m, respectively. Thus, the developed GPR model has successfully predicted an accurate geoid height of Kuwait with maximum variation approaches ±0.02 m.
