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.

Improved arctic ocean mass variability inferred from time-variable gravity with constraints and dual leakage correction / Dapeng Mu in Marine geodesy, Vol 43 n° 3 (May 2020)

The recently released GRACE mascons solutions are advanced by applying constraints that remove efficiently the stripes and dual leakage correction that restores the coastal ocean mass variability. Here we quantitatively evaluate the improvement in the Arctic Ocean mass variability by GRACE mascons. To do so, we compare the combination of GRACE solutions (including the mascons solutions and traditional spherical harmonic coefficients (SHCs) solutions) and the steric estimates against the altimeter observations. Our results suggest that mascons solutions produce stronger correlations compared to SHCs solutions, especially along the coastal zone, indicating the importance of the dual leakage correction. Stronger correlation is produced by the mascons over a small basin in the interior of the Arctic Ocean, suggesting that mascons solutions deliver better ocean mass variability than the SHCs solutions. Since the comparisons are carried out over two sub-basins, we conclude that mascons are able to provide better regional ocean mass variability that may have implications for regional sea level budget, in particular over the coastal zone.

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.

Data-adaptive spatio-temporal filtering of GRACE data / Paoline Prevost in Geophysical journal international, vol 219 n° 3 (December 2019)  

Public [article]  inGeophysical journal international > vol 219 n° 3 (December 2019) . - pp 2034 - 2055 Titre : Data-adaptive spatio-temporal filtering of GRACE data Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Paoline Prevost, Auteur ; Kristel Chanard , Auteur ; Luce Fleitout, Auteur ; Eric Calais, Auteur ; Damian Walwer, Auteur ; Tonie M. van Dam, Auteur ; Michael Ghil, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Projets : 2-Pas d'info accessible - article non ouvert / Article en page(s) : pp 2034 - 2055 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement du signal [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse de spectre singulier [Termes descripteurs IGN] données géophysiques [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GRACE [Termes descripteurs IGN] filtrage spatiotemporel [Termes descripteurs IGN] harmonique sphérique Résumé : (auteur) Measurements of the spatio-temporal variations of Earth’s gravity field from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission have led to new insights into large spatial mass redistribution at secular, seasonal and subseasonal timescales. GRACE solutions from various processing centres, while adopting different processing strategies, result in rather coherent estimates. However, these solutions also exhibit random as well as systematic errors, with specific spatial patterns in the latter. In order to dampen the noise and enhance the geophysical signals in the GRACE data, we propose an approach based on a data-driven spatio-temporal filter, namely the Multichannel Singular Spectrum Analysis (M-SSA). M-SSA is a data-adaptive, multivariate, and non-parametric method that simultaneously exploits the spatial and temporal correlations of geophysical fields to extract common modes of variability. We perform an M-SSA analysis on 13 yr of GRACE spherical harmonics solutions from five different processing centres in a simultaneous setup. We show that the method allows us to extract common modes of variability between solutions, while removing solution-specific spatio-temporal errors that arise from the processing strategies. In particular, the method efficiently filters out the spurious north–south stripes, which are caused in all likelihood by aliasing, due to the imperfect geophysical correction models and low-frequency noise in measurements. Comparison of the M-SSA GRACE solution with mass concentration (mascons) solutions shows that, while the former remains noisier, it does retrieve geophysical signals masked by the mascons regularization procedure.

Combination of GRACE monthly gravity fields on the normal equation level / Ulrich Meyer in Journal of geodesy, vol 93 n° 9 (September 2019)

The users are, however, left alone with the decision which time-series to analyze. Following the example of other well-known combination services provided by the geodetic community, the prototype of a combination service has been developed within the frame of the project EGSIEM (2015–2017) to combine the different time-series with the goal to provide a unique and superior product to the user community. Four associated analysis centers (ACs) of EGSIEM, namely AIUB, GFZ, GRGS and IfG, generated monthly gravity fields which were then combined using the different normal equations (NEQs). But the relative weights determined by variance component estimation (VCE) on the NEQ level do not lead to an optimal combined product due to the different processing strategies applied by the individual ACs. We therefore resort to VCE on the solution level to derive relative weights that are representative of the noise levels of the individual solutions. These weights are then applied in the combination on the NEQ level. Prior to combination, empirical scaling factors that are based on pairwise combinations of NEQs are derived to balance the impact of the NEQs on the combined solution. We compare the processing approaches of the different ACs and introduce quality measures derived either from the differences w.r.t. the monthly means of the individual gravity fields or w.r.t. a deterministic signal model. After combination, the gravity fields are validated by comparison to the official GRACE SDS RL05 time-series and the individual contributions of the associated ACs in the spectral and the spatial domain. While the combined gravity fields are comparable in signal strength to the individual time-series, they stand out by their low noise level. In terms of noise, they are in 90% of all months as good or better than the best individual contribution from IfG and significantly less noisy than the official GRACE SDS RL05 time-series.
