  2. 1. Regional Geoid Determination Methods for the Era of Satellite Gravimetry : Numerical Investigations Using Synthetic Earth Gravity Models

    Author : Jonas Ågren; Lars E. Sjöberg; Zdenek Martince; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; geoid determination; GOCE; synthetic earth gravity models; kernel modification; downward continuation; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : It is the purpose of this thesis to investigate different regional geoid determination methods with respect to their feasibility for use with a future GOCE satellite-only Earth Gravity Model (EGM). This includes investigations of various techniques, which involve different approximations, as well as the expected accuracy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Satellite Radar Altimetry for Determination of Geoid Undulations and Gravity Anomalies

    Author : Jonas P. Noréus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; resolution; water vapour; geodesy; geoid undulations; gravity anomalies; precision; kriging; satellite remote sensing; radar altimetry;

    Abstract : The sea level changes both temporally (due to dynamic effects) and spatially (due to sea bottom topography and inhomogeneities in the Earth's crust). Satellite radar altimetry is a remote sensing technique which can be used for e.g. determination of the instantaneous and mean sea level, and gravity anomalies at sea. READ MORE

  5. 3. Recovering Moho parameters using gravimetric and seismic data

    Author : Majid Abrehdary; Lars E. Sjöberg; Mohammad Bagherbandi; Pavel Novák; KTH; []
    Keywords : crust; gravity; mantle; Moho depth; non-isostatic effect; residual isostatic topography; stripping; thermal state; Vening Meinesz-Moritz model; Geodesy and Geoinformatics; Geodesi och geoinformatik;

    Abstract : Isostasy is a key concept in geoscience to interpret the state of mass balance between the Earth’s crust and mantle. There are four well-known isostatic models: the classical models of Airy/Heiskanen (A/H), Pratt/Hayford (P/H), and Vening Meinesz (VM) and the modern model of Vening Meinesz-Moritz (VMM). READ MORE

  6. 4. Precise Gravimetric Geoid Model for Iran Based on GRACE and SRTM Data and the Least-Squares Modification of Stokes’ Formula : with Some Geodynamic Interpretations

    Author : Ramin Kiamehr; Lars Sjöberg; Martin Vermeer; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gravity database; least-squares modification of Stokes; geoid determination; SRTM; GRACE; GPS levelling; density variation model; height datum; geodynamics; Iran; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : Iran is one of the most complicated areas in the world from the view of rough topography, tectonic activity, large lateral density and geoidal height variations. The computation of a regional gravimetric geoid model with high accuracy in mountainous regions, especially with sparse data, is a difficult task that needs a special attention to obtain reliable results which can meet the needs of the today geodetic community.
