Two candidates are considered in this study: the cold atom interferometry (CAI) gradiometer and optical clocks. Both sensors show a high sensitivity and long-term stability. They are assumed on board of a low-orbit satellite like gravity field and steady-state ocean circulation explorer (GOCE) and gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) to determine the Earth’s gravity field. Their individual contributions were assessed through closed-loop simulations which rigorously mapped the sensors’ sensitivities to the gravity field coefficients. Clocks, which can directly obtain the gravity potential (differences) through frequency comparison, show a high sensitivity to the very long-wavelength gravity field. In the GRACE orbit, clocks with an uncertainty level of 1.0×10−18 are capable to retrieve temporal gravity signals below degree 12, while 1.0×10−17 clocks are useful for detecting the signals of degree 2 only. However, it poses challenges for clocks to achieve such uncertainties in a short time. In space, the CAI gradiometer is expected to have its ultimate sensitivity and a remarkable stability over a long time (measurements are precise down to very low frequencies). The three diagonal gravity gradients can properly be measured by CAI gradiometry with a same noise level of 5.0 mE/Hz−−−√. They can potentially lead to a 2–5 times better solution of the static gravity field than that of GOCE above degree and order 50, where the GOCE solution is mainly dominated by the gradient measurements. In the lower degree part, benefits from CAI gradiometry are still visible, but there, solutions from GRACE-like missions are superior.

Using real polar ground gravimetry data to solve the GOCE polar gap problem in satellite-only gravity field recovery / Biao Lu in Journal of geodesy, Vol 94 n°3 (March 2020)  

Public [article]  inJournal of geodesy > Vol 94 n°3 (March 2020) Titre : Using real polar ground gravimetry data to solve the GOCE polar gap problem in satellite-only gravity field recovery Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Biao Lu, Auteur ; Christoph Förste, Auteur ; Franz Barthelmes, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie physique [Termes descripteurs IGN] anomalie de pesanteur [Termes descripteurs IGN] Antarctique [Termes descripteurs IGN] Arctique [Termes descripteurs IGN] champ de gravitation [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GOCE [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GRACE [Termes descripteurs IGN] Earth Gravity Model 2008 [Termes descripteurs IGN] filtrage d'information [Termes descripteurs IGN] levé gravimétrique [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle de géopotentiel [Termes descripteurs IGN] zone polaire Résumé : (auteur) With the successful completion of European Space Agency (ESA)’s PolarGAP campaign, ground gravity data are now available for both polar regions. Therefore, it is now possible to solve the GOCE polar gap problem in satellite-only gravity field recovery by using additional polar ground gravity data instead of some regularization methods. However, ground gravimetry data need to be filtered to remove the short-wavelength information beyond a certain harmonic degree to avoid spectral leakage when inferring satellite-only gravity field models. For the Arctic, the ArcGP data set was successfully applied when inferring the high-resolution gravity field model EGM2008 which could be used for this filtering there. For Antarctica, a combination of latest airborne gravimetry data from ESA’s PolarGap campaign and some previous gravity data was recently published which was irregularly distributed in space and still had some small gaps within the GOCE south polar gap. Therefore, we proposed a point mass modeling method for this filtering which was similar to the way using EGM2008 for such filtering to the ground gravity data in the Arctic. Furthermore, a variance component estimation was applied to combine the normal equations from the different sources to build a global gravity field model called IGGT_R1C. Then, this model’s accuracy was evaluated by comparison with other gravity field models in terms of difference degree amplitudes, gravity anomaly differences as well as external checking by obit adjustment and gravity data in the GOCE polar gap areas. This gravity field model performed well globally according to these checking results; especially, the RMS of the residuals between the filtered gravity data and that calculated from IGGT_R1C was the smallest (2.6 mGal in the Arctic and 5.4 mGal in Antarctica) compared with that of the relevant satellite-only gravity field models, e.g., GOCO05s. Therefore, the disturbing impact of the GOCE polar data gap problem could be solved by adding the polar ground gravity data.

On the assimilation of absolute geodetic dynamic topography in a global ocean model: impact on the deep ocean state / Alexey Androsov in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 2 (February 2019)

Forced with observed atmospheric fluxes they gradually drift away from measured distributions of temperature and salinity. We suggest data assimilation of absolute dynamical ocean topography (DOT) observed from space geodetic missions as an option to reduce these differences. Sea surface information of DOT is transferred into the deep ocean by defining the analysed ocean state as a weighted average of an ensemble of fully consistent model solutions using an error-subspace ensemble Kalman filter technique. Success of the technique is demonstrated by assimilation into a global configuration of the ocean circulation model FESOM over 1 year. The dynamic ocean topography data are obtained from a combination of multi-satellite altimetry and geoid measurements. The assimilation result is assessed using independent temperature and salinity analysis derived from profiling buoys of the AGRO float data set. The largest impact of the assimilation occurs at the first few analysis steps where both the model ocean topography and the steric height (i.e. temperature and salinity) are improved. The continued data assimilation over 1 year further improves the model state gradually. Deep ocean fields quickly adjust in a sustained manner: A model forecast initialized from the model state estimated by the data assimilation after only 1 month shows that improvements induced by the data assimilation remain in the model state for a long time. Even after 11 months, the modelled ocean topography and temperature fields show smaller errors than the model forecast without any data assimilation.

There are a few methods such as cross-wavelet transform and wavelet coherence that can analyze two time series together. However, these methods cannot generally be used to analyze unequally spaced and non-stationary time series with associated covariance matrices that may have trends and/or datum shifts. A new method of analyzing two time series together, namely the least-squares cross-wavelet analysis, is developed and applied to study the disturbances in the gravitational gradients observed by GOCE satellite that arise from plasma flow in the ionosphere represented by Poynting flux. The proposed method also shows its outstanding performance on the Westford–Wettzell very long baseline interferometry baseline length and temperature series.

Applying the GOCE-based GGMs for the quasi-geoid modelling of Finland / Timo Saari in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 12 n° 1 (January 2018)

Since the reentry to the Earth’s atmosphere, the full cycle of the GOCE data has been published by ESA. At first, we evaluated all the GOCE-based global geoid models over Finland using terrestrial gravity and GNSS-levelling data. The most suitable model was selected as a global background model for the Finnish quasi-geoid calculations. Next, we combined the chosen model with terrestrial gravity data of Finland and surrounding areas. Quasi-geoid models with different modifications were calculated using the GOCE DIR5 model up to spherical harmonic degree and order (d/o) 240 and 300, and the high resolution EIGEN-6C4 (includes the complete GOCE data) model up to degree and order 1000 and 2190. The calculated quasi-geoid models were validated to the measurements on site with two independent GPS-levelling datasets. The best quasi-geoid models with GOCE gave standard deviations of 2.6 cm (FIN_DIR5 d/o 240) and 2.3 cm (FIN_DIR5 d/o 300) in Finland. For the high resolution model FIN_EIGEN-6C4, the results were 1.8 cm (d/o 1000) and 1.7 cm (d/o 2190). In addition, the results were compared with the latest geoid models available in Finland (FIN2005N00, NKG2004, NKG2015, EGG2008). The sub-2-centimetre (and near 2 cm, when using the GOCE-based models) accuracy is an improvement over the previous and current Finnish geoid models.
