The AUSGeoid09 model of the Australian Height Datum 总被引:8,自引:6,他引:2
W. E. Featherstone J. F. Kirby C. Hirt M. S. Filmer S. J. Claessens N. J. Brown G. Hu G. M. Johnston 《Journal of Geodesy》2011,85(3):133-150
AUSGeoid09 is the new Australia-wide gravimetric quasigeoid model that has been a posteriori fitted to the Australian Height
Datum (AHD) so as to provide a product that is practically useful for the more direct determination of AHD heights from Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). This approach is necessary because the AHD is predominantly a third-order vertical datum
that contains a ~1 m north-south tilt and ~0.5 m regional distortions with respect to the quasigeoid, meaning that GNSS-gravimetric-quasigeoid
and AHD heights are inconsistent. Because the AHD remains the official vertical datum in Australia, it is necessary to provide
GNSS users with effective means of recovering AHD heights. The gravimetric component of the quasigeoid model was computed
using a hybrid of the remove-compute-restore technique with a degree-40 deterministically modified kernel over a one-degree
spherical cap, which is superior to the remove-compute-restore technique alone in Australia (with or without a cap). This
is because the modified kernel and cap combine to filter long-wavelength errors from the terrestrial gravity anomalies. The
zero-tide EGM2008 global gravitational model to degree 2,190 was used as the reference field. Other input data are ~1.4 million
land gravity anomalies from Geoscience Australia, 1′ × 1′ DNSC2008GRA altimeter-derived gravity anomalies offshore, the 9′′ × 9′′
GEODATA-DEM9S Australian digital elevation model, and a readjustment of Australian National Levelling Network (ANLN) constrained
to the CARS2006 mean dynamic ocean topography model. To determine the numerical integration parameters for the modified kernel,
the gravimetric component of AUSGeoid09 was compared with 911 GNSS-observed ellipsoidal heights at benchmarks. The standard
deviation of fit to the GNSS-AHD heights is ±222 mm, which dropped to ±134 mm for the readjusted GNSS-ANLN heights showing
that careful consideration now needs to be given to the quality of the levelling data used to assess gravimetric quasigeoid
models. The publicly released version of AUSGeoid09 also includes a geometric component that models the difference between
the gravimetric quasigeoid and the zero surface of the AHD at 6,794 benchmarks. This a posteriori fitting used least-squares
collocation (LSC) in cross-validation mode to determine a correlation length of 75 km for the analytical covariance function,
whereas the noise was taken from the estimated standard deviation of the GNSS ellipsoidal heights. After this LSC surface
fitting, the standard deviation of fit reduced to ±30 mm, one-third of which is attributable to the uncertainty in the GNSS
ellipsoidal heights. 相似文献

On the basis of gravity field model (EIGEN_CG01C), together with multi-altimeter data, the improved deflection of the vertical gridded in 2'×2' in China marginal sea and gridded in 5'×5' in the global sea was determined by using the weighted method of along-track least squares, and the accuracy is better than 1.2^# in China marginal sea. As for the quality of the deflection of the vertical, it meets the challenge for the gravity field of high resolution and accuracy, it shows that, compared with the shipboard gravimetry in the sea, the accuracy of the gravity anomalies computed with the marine deflection of the vertical by inverse Vening-Meinesz formula is 7.75 m.s ^-2. 相似文献

Computation of spherical harmonic coefficients and their error estimates using least-squares collocation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
C. C. Tscherning 《Journal of Geodesy》2001,75(1):12-18
Equations expressing the covariances between spherical harmonic coefficients and linear functionals applied on the anomalous
gravity potential, T, are derived. The functionals are the evaluation functionals, and those associated with first- and second-order derivatives
of T. These equations form the basis for the prediction of spherical harmonic coefficients using least-squares collocation (LSC).
The equations were implemented in the GRAVSOFT program GEOCOL. Initially, tests using EGM96 were performed using global and
regional sets of geoid heights, gravity anomalies and second-order vertical gravity gradients at ground level and at altitude.
The global tests confirm that coefficients may be estimated consistently using LSC while the error estimates are much too
large for the lower-order coefficients. The validity of an error estimate calculated using LSC with an isotropic covariance
function is based on a hypothesis that the coefficients of a specific degree all belong to the same normal distribution. However,
the coefficients of lower degree do not fulfil this, and this seems to be the reason for the too-pessimistic error estimates.
In order to test this the coefficients of EGM96 were perturbed, so that the pertubations for a specific degree all belonged
to a normal distribution with the variance equal to the mean error variance of the coefficients. The pertubations were used
to generate residual geoid heights, gravity anomalies and second-order vertical gravity gradients. These data were then used
to calculate estimates of the perturbed coefficients as well as error estimates of the quantities, which now have a very good
agreement with the errors computed from the simulated observed minus calculated coefficients. Tests with regionally distributed
data showed that long-wavelength information is lost, but also that it seems to be recovered for specific coefficients depending
on where the data are located.

Two numerical techniques are used in recent regional high-frequency geoid computations in Canada: discrete numerical integration
and fast Fourier transform. These two techniques have been tested for their numerical accuracy using a synthetic gravity field.
The synthetic field was generated by artificially extending the EGM96 spherical harmonic coefficients to degree 2160, which
is commensurate with the regular 5′ geographical grid used in Canada. This field was used to generate self-consistent sets of synthetic gravity anomalies and
synthetic geoid heights with different degree variance spectra, which were used as control on the numerical geoid computation
techniques. Both the discrete integration and the fast Fourier transform were applied within a 6∘ spherical cap centered at each computation point. The effect of the gravity data outside the spherical cap was computed using
the spheroidal Molodenskij approach. Comparisons of these geoid solutions with the synthetic geoid heights over western Canada
indicate that the high-frequency geoid can be computed with an accuracy of approximately 1 cm using the modified Stokes technique,
with discrete numerical integration giving a slightly, though not significantly, better result than fast Fourier transform.

Mean gravity anomalies, deflections of the vertical, and a geopotential model complete to degree and order180 are combined in order to determine geoidal heights in the area bounded by [34°≦ϕ≤42°, 18°≦λ≦28°]. Moreover, employing point
gravity anomalies simultaneously with the above data, an attempt is made to predict deflections of the vertical in the same
area. The method used in the computations is least squares collocation. Using empirical covariance functions for the data,
the suitable errors for the different sources of observations, and the optimum cap radius around each point of evaluation,
an accuracy better than±0.60m for geoidal heights and±1″.5 for deflections of the vertical is obtained taking into account existing systematic effects. This accuracy refers to the
comparison between observed and predicted values. 相似文献

LSC法(最小二乘配置法)因能融合不同种类重力观测数据确定大地水准面的特性而受到广泛关注,但由于协方差矩阵存在病态性,微小的观测误差将被协方差矩阵的小奇异值放大,导致计算的配置结果不稳定且精度偏低。本文提出Tikhonov_LSC法,即在LSC法中引入Tikhonov正则化算法,基于GCV法选择协方差矩阵的正则化参数,利用正则化参数修正协方差矩阵的小奇异值,以抑制其对观测误差的放大影响。基于Tikhonov_LSC法计算大地水准面,能有效提高其稳定性和精度。通过以EGM2008重力场模型分别计算山区、丘陵和海域重力异常作为基础数据确定相应区域大地水准面的实验,验证了该方法的有效性。 相似文献

The least squares collocation algorithm for estimating gravity anomalies from geodetic data is shown to be an application
of the well known regression equations which provide the mean and covariance of a random vector (gravity anomalies) given
a realization of a correlated random vector (geodetic data). It is also shown that the collocation solution for gravity anomalies
is equivalent to the conventional least-squares-Stokes' function solution when the conventional solution utilizes properly
weighted zero a priori estimates. The mathematical and physical assumptions underlying the least squares collocation estimator
are described. 相似文献

The accuracy of the gravity field approximation depends on the amount of the available data and their distribution as well
as on the variation of the gravity field. The variation of the gravity field in the Greek mainland, which is the test area
in this study, is very high (the variance of point free air gravity anomalies is 3191.5mgal
2). Among well known reductions used to smooth the gravity field, the complete isostatic reduction causes the best possible
smoothing, however remain strong local anomalies which disturb the homogeneity of the gravity field in this area. The prediction
of free air gravity anomalies using least squares collocation and regional covariance function is obtained within a ±4 ...
±19mgal accuracy depending on the local peculiarities of the free air gravity field. By taking into account the topography and its
isostatic compensation with the usual remove-restore technique, the accuracy of the prediction mentioned obove was increased
by about a factor of 4 and the prediction results become quite insensitive to the covariance function used (local or regional).
But when predicting geoidal heights, in spite of using the smoothed field, the prediction results remain still depend on the
covariance function used in such a way that differences up to about 50cm/100km result between relative geoidal heights computed with regional or local covariance functions. 相似文献

A synthetic Earth for use in geodesy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
R. Haagmans 《Journal of Geodesy》2000,74(7-8):503-511
A synthetic Earth and its gravity field that can be represented at different resolutions for testing and comparing existing
and new methods used for global gravity-field determination are created. Both the boundary and boundary values of the gravity
potential can be generated. The approach chosen also allows observables to be generated at aircraft flight height or at satellite
altitude. The generation of the synthetic Earth shape (SES) and gravity-field quantities is based upon spherical harmonic
expansions of the isostatically compensated equivalent rock topography and the EGM96 global geopotential model. Spherical
harmonic models are developed for both the synthetic Earth topography (SET) and the synthetic Earth potential (SEP) up to
degree and order 2160 corresponding to a 5′×5′ resolution. Various sets of SET, SES and SEP with boundary geometry and boundary
values at different resolutions can be generated using low-pass filters applied to the expansions. The representation is achieved
in point sets based upon refined triangulation of a octahedral geometry projected onto the chosen reference ellipsoid. The
filter cut-offs relate to the sampling pattern in order to avoid aliasing effects. Examples of the SET and its gravity field
are shown for a resolution with a Nyquist sampling rate of 8.27 degrees.

Prediction of vertical deflections from high-degree spherical harmonic synthesis and residual terrain model data 总被引:6,自引:4,他引:2
Christian Hirt 《Journal of Geodesy》2010,84(3):179-190
This study demonstrates that in mountainous areas the use of residual terrain model (RTM) data significantly improves the
accuracy of vertical deflections obtained from high-degree spherical harmonic synthesis. The new Earth gravitational model
EGM2008 is used to compute vertical deflections up to a spherical harmonic degree of 2,160. RTM data can be constructed as
difference between high-resolution Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) elevation data and the terrain model DTM2006.0
(a spherical harmonic terrain model that complements EGM2008) providing the long-wavelength reference surface. Because these
RTM elevations imply most of the gravity field signal beyond spherical harmonic degree of 2,160, they can be used to augment
EGM2008 vertical deflection predictions in the very high spherical harmonic degrees. In two mountainous test areas—the German
and the Swiss Alps—the combined use of EGM2008 and RTM data was successfully tested at 223 stations with high-precision astrogeodetic
vertical deflections from recent zenith camera observations (accuracy of about 0.1 arc seconds) available. The comparison
of EGM2008 vertical deflections with the ground-truth astrogeodetic observations shows root mean square (RMS) values (from
differences) of 3.5 arc seconds for ξ and 3.2 arc seconds for η, respectively. Using a combination of EGM2008 and RTM data for the prediction of vertical deflections considerably reduces
the RMS values to the level of 0.8 arc seconds for both vertical deflection components, which is a significant improvement
of about 75%. Density anomalies of the real topography with respect to the residual model topography are one factor limiting
the accuracy of the approach. The proposed technique for vertical deflection predictions is based on three publicly available
data sets: (1) EGM2008, (2) DTM2006.0 and (3) SRTM elevation data. This allows replication of the approach for improving the
accuracy of EGM2008 vertical deflection predictions in regions with a rough topography or for improved validation of EGM2008
and future high-degree spherical harmonic models by means of independent ground truth data. 相似文献

An inverse Poisson integral technique has been used to determine a gravity field on the geoid which, when continued by analytic
free space methods to the topographic surface, agrees with the observed field. The computation is performed in three stages,
each stage refining the previous solution using data at progressively increasing resolution (1o×1o, 5′×5′, 5/8′×5/8′) from a decreasing area of integration. Reduction corrections are computed at 5/8′×5/8′ granularity by
differencing the geoidal and surface values, smoothed by low-pass filtering and sub-sampled at 5′ intervals. This paper discusses
1o×1o averages of the reduction corrections thus obtained for 172 1o×1o squares in western North America.
The 1o×1o mean reduction corrections are predominantly positive, varying from −3 to +15mgal, with values in excess of 5mgal for 26 squares. Their mean andrms values are +2.4 and 3.6mgal respectively and they correlate well with the mean terrain corrections as predicted byPellinen in 1962. The mean andrms contributions from the three stages of computation are: 1o×1o stage +0.15 and 0.7mgal; 5′×5′ stage +1.0 and 1.6mgal; and 5/8′×5/8′ stage +1.3 and 1.8mgal. These results reflect a tendency for the contributions to become larger and more systematically positive as the wavelengths
involved become shorter. The results are discussed in terms of two mechanisms; the first is a tendency for the absolute values
of both positive and negative anomalies to become larger when continued downwards and, the second, a non-linear rectification,
due to the correlation between gravity anomaly and topographic height, which results in the values continued to a level surface
being systematically more positive than those on the topography. 相似文献

Combining EGM2008 and SRTM/DTM2006.0 residual terrain model data to improve quasigeoid computations in mountainous areas devoid of gravity data 总被引:6,自引:4,他引:2
A global geopotential model, like EGM2008, is not capable of representing the high-frequency components of Earth’s gravity
field. This is known as the omission error. In mountainous terrain, omission errors in EGM2008, even when expanded to degree
2,190, may reach amplitudes of 10 cm and more for height anomalies. The present paper proposes the utilisation of high-resolution
residual terrain model (RTM) data for computing estimates of the omission error in rugged terrain. RTM elevations may be constructed
as the difference between the SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) elevation model and the DTM2006.0 spherical harmonic
topographic expansion. Numerical tests, carried out in the German Alps with a precise gravimetric quasigeoid model (GCG05)
and GPS/levelling data as references, demonstrate that RTM-based omission error estimates improve EGM2008 height anomaly differences
by 10 cm in many cases. The comparisons of EGM2008-only height anomalies and the GCG05 model showed 3.7 cm standard deviation
after a bias-fit. Applying RTM omission error estimates to EGM2008 reduces the standard deviation to 1.9 cm which equates
to a significant improvement rate of 47%. Using GPS/levelling data strongly corroborates these findings with an improvement
rate of 49%. The proposed RTM approach may be of practical value to improve quasigeoid determination in mountainous areas
without sufficient regional gravity data coverage, e.g., in parts of Asia, South America or Africa. As a further application,
RTM omission error estimates will allow refined validation of global gravity field models like EGM2008 from GPS/levelling
data. 相似文献

Summary Basically two different evaluation methods are available to compute geoid heights from residual gravity anomalies in the inner zone: numerical integration and least squares collocation.If collocation is not applied to a global gravity data set, as is usually the case in practice, its result will not be equal to the numerical integration result. However, the cross covariance function between geoid heights and gravity anomalies can be adapted such that the geoid contribution is computed only from a small gravity area up to a certain distance
o from the computation point. Using this modification, identical results are obtained as from numerical integration.Applying this modification makes the results less dependent on the covariance function used. The difference between numerical integration and collocation is mainly caused by the implicitly extrapolated residual gravity anomaly values, outside the original data area. This extrapolated signal depends very much on the covariance function used, while the interpolated values within the original data area depend much less on it.As a sort of by-product, this modified collocation formula also leads to a new combination technique of numerical integration and collocation, in which the optimizing practical properties of both methods are fully exploited.Numerical examples are added as illustration. 相似文献

High-resolution EIGEN6C4 and EGM2008 Bouguer gravity data of 2190 degree spherical harmonic over the Singhbhum-Orissa Craton, India, have been generated from the International Centre for Global Earth Models. The Bouguer gravity anomaly difference maps of (i) in situ and EIGEN6C4, (ii) in situ and EGM2008 and iii) EIGEN6C4 and EGM2008 of the study area are compared. It reveals that EIGEN6C4 has lesser systematic error than EGM2008. However, from different profile plots of Bouguer gravity, east–west horizontal derivative and north–south horizontal derivative anomalies of the in situ, EIGEN6C4 and EGM2008, it is observed that most of the signatures of lithounits and geological structural elements are delineated very well by EGM2008 and match 94–98% with those of EIGEN6C4. Further, the Bouguer gravity, east–west horizontal derivative and north–south horizontal derivative anomalies of EGM2008 data over the study area have been used effectively for identifying various lithounits and geological structural elements. 相似文献

A detailed gravimetric geoid in the North Atlantic Ocean, named DGGNA-77, has been computed, based on a satellite and gravimetry
derived earth potential model (consisting in spherical harmonic coefficients up to degree and order 30) and mean free air
surface gravity anomalies (35180 1°×1° mean values and 245000 4′×4′ mean values). The long wavelength undulations were computed
from the spherical harmonics of the reference potential model and the details were obtained by integrating the residual gravity
anomalies through the Stokes formula: from 0 to 5° with the 4′×4′ data, and from 5° to 20° with the 1°×1° data. For computer
time reasons the final grid was computed with half a degree spacing only. This grid extends from the Gulf of Mexico to the
European and African coasts.
Comparisons have been made with Geos 3 altimetry derived geoid heights and with the 5′×5′ gravimetric geoid derived byMarsh andChang [8] in the northwestern part of the Atlantic Ocean, which show a good agreement in most places apart from some tilts which
porbably come from the satellite orbit recovery. 相似文献

In support of requirements for the U.S. Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, gravity anomalies have been upward continued
to several elevations in different areas of the United States. One area was 340 to 400 N in latitude and 960 to 1030 W in longitude, generally called the Oklahoma area. The computations proceeded from 26, 032 point anomalies to the prediction
of mean anomalies in 14, 704, 2.5′×2.5′ blocks and 9,284, 5′×5′ blocks. These anomalies were upward continued along 28 profiles
at 5′ intervals for every 30′ in latitude and longitude. These anomalies at elevations were meaned in various patterns to
form mean 30′×30″, 10×10, 50×50 blocks. Comparisons were then made to the corresponding ground values. The results of these comparisons lead to practical
recommendations on the arrangement of flight profiles in airborne gravimetry. 相似文献
