The estimation of a local empirical covariance function from a set of observations was done in the Faeroe Islands region.
Gravity and adjusted Seasat altimeter data relative to theGPM2 spherical harmonic approximation were selected holding one value in celles of1/8°×1/4° covering the area. In order to center the observations they were transformed into a locally best fitting reference system
having a semimajor axis1.8 m smaller than the one ofGRS80. The variance of the data then was273 mgal
2 and0.12 m
2 respectively. In the calculations both the space domain method and the frequency domain method were used. Using the space
domain method the auto-covariances for gravity anomalies and geoid heights and the cross-covariances between the quantities
were estimated. Furthermore an empirical error estimate was derived. Using the frequency domain method the auto-covariances
of gridded gravity anomalies was estimated. The gridding procedure was found to have a considerable smoothing effect, but
a deconvolution made the results of the two methods to agree.
The local covariance function model was represented by a Tscherning/Rapp degree-variance model,A/((i−1)(i−2)(i+24))(R
B
/R
E
)2i+2, and the error degree-variances related to the potential coefficient setGPM2. This covariance function was adjusted to fit the empirical values using an iterative least squares inversion procedure adjusting
the factor A, the depth to the Bjerhammar sphere(R
E
−R
B
), and a scale factor associated with the error degree-variances. Three different combinations of the empirical covariance
values were used. The scale factor was not well determined from the gravity anomaly covariance values, and the depth to the
Bjerhammar sphere was not well determined from geoid height covariance values only. A combination of the two types of auto-covariance
values resulted in a well determined model. 相似文献

Topographic and isostatic mass anomalies affect the external gravity field of the Earth. Therefore, these effects also exist
in the gravity gradients observed, e.g., by the satellite gravity gradiometry mission GOCE (Gravity and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Experiment). The downward continuation of the gravitational signals is rather difficult because of the high-frequency behaviour
of the combined topographic and isostatic effects. Thus, it is preferable to smooth the gravity field by some topographic-isostatic
reduction. In this paper the focus is on the modelling of masses in the space domain, which can be subdivided into different
mass elements and evaluated with analytical, semi-analytical and numerical methods. Five alternative mass elements are reviewed
and discussed: the tesseroid, the point mass, the prism, the mass layer and the mass line. The formulae for the potential,
the attraction components and the Marussi tensor of second-order potential derivatives are provided. The formulae for different
mass elements and computation methods are checked by assuming a synthetic topography of constant height over a spherical cap
and the position of the computation point on the polar axis. For this special situation an exact analytical solution for the
tesseroid exists and a comparison between the analytical solution of a spherical cap and the modelling of different mass elements
is possible. A comparison of the computation times shows that modelling by tesseroids with different methods produces the
most accurate results in an acceptable computation time. As a numerical example, the Marussi tensor of the topographic effect
is computed globally using tesseroids calculated by Gauss–Legendre cubature (3D) on the basis of a digital height model. The
order of magnitude in the radial-radial component is about ± 8 E.U.

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

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

The static gravity field model DGM-1S from GRACE and GOCE data: computation, validation and an analysis of GOCE mission’s added value 总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2
We present a global static model of the Earth’s gravity field entitled DGM-1S based on GRACE and GOCE data. The collection of used data sets includes nearly 7 years of GRACE KBR data and 10 months of GOCE gravity gradient data. The KBR data are transformed with a 3-point differentiation into quantities that are approximately inter-satellite accelerations. Gravity gradients are processed in the instrumental frame. Noise is handled with a frequency-dependent data weighting. DGM-1S is complete to spherical harmonic degree 250 with a Kaula regularization being applied above degree 179. Its performance is compared with a number of other satellite-only GRACE/GOCE models by confronting them with (i) an independent model of the oceanic mean dynamic topography, and (ii) independent KBR and gravity gradient data. The tests reveal a competitive quality for DGM-1S. Importantly, we study added value of GOCE data by comparing the performance of satellite-only GRACE/GOCE models with models produced without GOCE data: either ITG-Grace2010s or EGM2008 depending on which of the two performs better in a given region. The test executed based on independent gravity gradients quantifies this added value as 25–38 % in the continental areas poorly covered with terrestrial gravimetry data (Equatorial Africa, Himalayas, and South America), 7–17 % in those with a good coverage with these data (Australia, North America, and North Eurasia), and 14 % in the oceans. This added value is shown to be almost entirely related to coefficients below degree 200. It is shown that this gain must be entirely attributed to gravity gradients acquired by the mission. The test executed based on an independent model of the mean dynamic topography suggests that problems still seem to exist in satellite-only GRACE/GOCE models over the Pacific ocean, where noticeable deviations between these models and EGM2008 are detected, too. 相似文献

A global mean dynamic topography and ocean circulation estimation using a preliminary GOCE gravity model 总被引:8,自引:4,他引:4
The Gravity and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite mission measures Earth’s gravity field with an unprecedented
accuracy at short spatial scales. In doing so, it promises to significantly advance our ability to determine the ocean’s general
circulation. In this study, an initial gravity model from GOCE, based on just 2 months of data, is combined with the recent
DTU10MSS mean sea surface to construct a global mean dynamic topography (MDT) model. The GOCE MDT clearly displays the gross
features of the ocean’s steady-state circulation. More significantly, the improved gravity model provided by the GOCE mission
has enhanced the resolution and sharpened the boundaries of those features compared with earlier satellite only solutions.
Calculation of the geostrophic surface currents from the MDT reveals improvements for all of the ocean’s major current systems.
In the North Atlantic, the Gulf Stream is stronger and more clearly defined, as are the Labrador and the Greenland currents.
Furthermore, the finer scale features, such as eddies, meanders and branches of the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Current
system are visible. Similar improvements are seen also in the North Pacific Ocean, where the Kuroshio and its extension are
well represented. In the Southern hemisphere, both the Agulhas and the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence current systems are well
defined, and in the Southern ocean the Antarctic Circumpolar Current appears enhanced. The results of this preliminary analysis,
using an initial GOCE gravity model, clearly demonstrate the potential of the GOCE mission. Already, at this early stage of
the mission, the resolution of the MDT has been improved and the estimated surface current speeds have been increased compared
with a GRACE satellite-only MDT. Future GOCE gravity models are expected to build further upon this early success. 相似文献

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

Statistics of GPS ionospheric scintillation and irregularities over polar regions at solar minimum 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
A statistical study of the occurrence characteristic of GPS ionospheric scintillation and irregularity in the polar latitude
is presented. These measurements were made at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard [78.9°N, 11.9°E; 75.8°N corrected geomagnetic latitude
(CGMLat)] and Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica (69.4°S, 76.4°E; 74.6°S CGMLat) during 2007–2008. It is found that the GPS
phase scintillation and irregularity activity mainly takes place in the months 10, 11 and 12 at Ny-Alesund, and in the months
5, 6 at Larsemann Hills. The seasonal pattern of phase scintillation with respect to the station indicates that the GPS phase
scintillation occurrence is a local winter phenomenon, which shows consistent results with past studies of 250 MHz satellite
beacon measurements. The occurrence rates of GPS amplitude scintillation at the two stations are below 1%. A comparison with
the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) B
y and B
z components shows that the phase scintillation occurrence level is higher during the period from later afternoon to sunset
(16–19 h) at Ny-Alesund, and from sunset to pre-midnight (18–23 h) at Larsemann Hills for negative IMF components. The findings
seem to indicate that the dependence of scintillation and irregularity occurrence on geomagnetic activity appears to be associated
with the magnetic local time (MLT). 相似文献

Operational meteorology is perceived as a fuzzy environment in which information is vaguely defined. The mesoscale processes
such as fog, stratus and convection are generally dependent on the topography of the place and has always been difficult to
forecast for the meteorologists. The main objective of the present study is to introduce the concept of fuzzy inference system (FIS) in the prediction of fog. This approach uses the concept of a pure fuzzy logic system where the fuzzy rule base
consists of a collection of fuzzy IF-THEN rules. The fuzzy inference engine uses these fuzzy IF-THEN rules to determine a mapping from fuzzy sets in the input universe of discourse to fuzzy sets in the output universe of discourse
based on fuzzy logic principles. Basic weather elements, which affect weather characteristics of fog, are fuzzified. These
are then used in fuzzy weather prediction models based on fuzzy inferences. These models are simulated and the crisp results
obtained using developed defuzzification strategies are compared with the actual weather data. The basis of methodology is
to construct the fuzzy rule base domain from the available daily current weather observations in winter season over New Delhi.
The results reveal that dew point spread and rate of change of dew point spread are the most important parameters for the
formation of fog. The results further indicate that fog formation over New Delhi are dominant when (i) dew point is greater
then 7°C along with dew point spread between 1 and 3°C. (ii) rate of change of dew point spread must be negative and wind
speed should be less than 4 knots. This study presents a technique for predicting the probability of fog over New Delhi for
5–6 hours in advance. The skill score indicates that the performance of FIS is appreciably good. The method is found to be
promising for operational application. 相似文献

A method of analyzing GRACE satellite-to-satellite ranging data is presented which accentuates signals from diurnal ocean
tides and dampens signals from long-period non-tidal phenomena. We form a time series of differences between two independent
monthly mean gravity solutions, one set computed from range-rate data along strictly ascending arcs and the other set computed
from data along descending arcs. The solar and lunisolar diurnal tides having alias periods longer than a few months, such
as K
1, P
1, and S
1, present noticeable variations in the monthly ascending and descending ‘difference’ solutions, while the climate-related
signals are largely cancelled. By computing tidal arguments evaluated along the actual GRACE orbits, we decompose and estimate
residual tidal signals with respect to our adopted prior model GOT4.7. The adjustment in the tidal height is small yet significant,
yielding maximum amplitudes of 4 cm mostly under the Antarctic ice shelves and ~1 cm in general at spatial scales of several
hundred kilometer. Moreover, the results suggest there are possible 1-cm errors in the tide model even over oceans well-covered
by decades of radar altimetry missions. Independent validation of such small adjustments covering wide areas, however, is
difficult, particularly with limited point measurements such as tide gauge. 相似文献

Summary The geopotential on and outside the earth is represented as a series in surface harmonics. The principal terms in it correspond
to the solid harmonics of the external potential expansion with the coefficients being Stokes’ constantsC
nm
andS
nm
. The additional terms which occur near the earth’s surface due to its non-sphericity and topography are expressed in terms
of Stokes’ constants too. This allows performing downward continuation of the potential derived from satellite observations.
In the boundary condition which correlates Stokes’ constants and the surface gravity anomalies there occur additional terms
due to the earth’s non-sphericity and topography. They are expressed in terms of Stokes’ constants as well. This improved
boundary condition can be used for upward and downward continuations of the gravity field. Simple expressions are found representingC
nm
andS
nm
as explicit functions of the surface anomalies and its derivatives. The formula for the disturbing potential on the surface
is derived in terms of the surface anomalies. All the formulas do not involve the earth’s surface in clinations. 相似文献

Modern models of the Earth's gravity field are developed in the IERS (International Earth Rotation Service) terrestrial reference
frame. In this frame the mean values for gravity coefficients of the second degree and first order, C
21(IERS) and S
21(IERS), by the current IERS Conventions are recommended to be calculated by using the observed polar motion parameters. Here, it
is proved that the formulae presently employed by the IERS Conventions to obtain these coefficients are insufficient to ensure
their values as given by the same source. The relevant error of the normalized mean values for C
21(IERS) and S
21(IERS) is 3×10−12, far above the adopted cutoff (10−13) for variations of these coefficients. Such an error in C
21 and S
21 can produce non-modeled perturbations in motion prediction of certain artificial Earth satellites of a magnitude comparable
to the accuracy of current tracking measurements.

The concept of an idealised earth having 1° averaged heights over its land surface is introduced as a means to improve upon
the existing geopotential coefficient solutions without the use of additional observed data, in order to provide more precise
knowledge of the earth’s gravity field in the form of 1° global geoid and 1° mean free-air gravity anomalies especially over
the mountainous regions with the visible topography condensed into the actual geoid, first by referring them to the idealised
earth and then by reducing the same to the actual earth on applying appropriate corrections for the differences between the
two earths. 相似文献

This paper highlights the spatial and temporal variability of atmospheric columnar methane (CH4) concentration over India and its correlation with the terrestrial vegetation dynamics. SCanning IMaging Absorption spectrometer
for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) on board ENVIronmental SATellite (ENVISAT) data product (0.5° × 0.5°) was used to
analyze the atmospheric CH4 concentration. Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre (SPOT)-VEGETATION sensor’s Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
(NDVI) product, aggregated at 0.5° × 0.5° grid level for the same period (2004 and 2005), was used to correlate the with CH4 concentration. Analysis showed mean monthly CH4 concentration during the Kharif season varied from 1,704 parts per billion volume (ppbv) to 1,780 ppbv with the lowest value in May and the highest value
in September. Correspondingly, mean NDVI varied from 0.28 (May) to 0.53 (September). Analysis of correlation between CH4 concentration and NDVI values over India showed positive correlation (r = 0.76; n = 6) in Kharif season. Further analysis using land cover information showed characteristic low correlation in natural vegetation region
and high correlation in agricultural area. Grids, particularly falling in the Indo-Gangetic Plains showed positive correlation.
This could be attributed to the rice crop which is grown as a predominant crop during this period. The CH4 concentration pattern matched well with growth pattern of rice with the highest concentration coinciding with the peak growth
period of crop in the September. Characteristically low correlation was observed (r = 0.1; n = 6) in deserts of Rajasthan and forested Himalayan ecosystem. Thus, the paper emphasizes the synergistic use of different
satellite based data in understanding the variability of atmospheric CH4 concentration in relation to vegetation. 相似文献

Research on surface water temperature (SWT) variations in large lakes over the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) has been limited by lack of in situ measurements. By taking advantage of the increased availability of remotely sensed observations, this study investigated SWT variation of Siling Co in central QTP by processing complete MODIS Land surface temperature (LST) images over the lake covering from 2001 to 2013. The temporal (diurnal, intra-annul and inter-annul) variations of Siling Co SWT as well as the spatial patterns were analyzed. The results show that on average from late December to mid-April the lake is in a mixing state of water and ice and drastic diurnal temperature differences occur, especially along the shallow shoreline areas. The extent of spatial variations in monthly SWT ranges from 1.25 °C to 3.5 °C, and particularly large at nighttime and in winter months. The spatial patterns of annual average SWT were likely impacted by the cooling effect of river inflow from the west and east side of the lake. The annual cycle of spatial pattern of SWT is characterized by seasonal reversions between the shallow littoral regions and deep parts due to different heat capacity. Compared to the deep regions, the littoral shallow shoreline areas warms up quickly in spring and summer, and cool down drastically in autumn and winter, showing large diurnal and seasonal variation amplitudes of SWT. Two cold belt zones in the western and eastern side of the lake and warm patches along the southwestern and northeastern shorelines are shaped by the combined effects of the lakebed topography and river runoff. Overall, the lake-averaged SWT increased at a rate of 0.26 °C/decade during 2001–2013. Faster increase of temperature was found at nighttime (0.34 °C/decade) and in winter and spring, consistent with the asymmetric warming pattern over land areas reported in prior studies. The rate of temperature increase over Siling Co is remarkably lower than that over Bangoin station, which is probably attributable to the large heat capacity of water and partly reflects the sensitive of alpine saltwater lake to climate change. 相似文献

A geodetic boundary value problem (GBVP) approach has been formulated which can be used for solving the problem of height
datum unification. The developed technique is applied to a test area in Southwest Finland with approximate size of 1.5° ×
3° and the bias of the corresponding local height datum (local geoid) with respect to the geoid is computed. For this purpose
the bias-free potential difference and gravity difference observations of the test area are used and the offset (bias) of
the height datum, i.e., Finnish Height Datum 2000 (N2000) fixed to Normaal Amsterdams Peil (NAP) as origin point, with respect
to the geoid is computed. The results of this computation show that potential of the origin point of N2000, i.e., NAP, is
(62636857.68 ± 0.5) (m2/s2) and as such is (0.191 ± 0.003) (m) under the geoid defined by W
0 = 62636855.8 (m2/s2). As the validity test of our methodology, the test area is divided into two parts and the corresponding potential difference
and gravity difference observations are introduced into our GBVP separately and the bias of height datums of the two parts
are computed with respect to the geoid. Obtaining approximately the same bias values for the height datums of the two parts
being part of one height datum with one origin point proves the validity of our approach. Besides, the latter test shows the
capability of our methodology for patch-wise application. 相似文献

A relationship between the likelihood of wildfires and various drought metrics (soil moisture-based fire potential indices) were examined over the southern part of Mississippi. The following three indices were tested and used to simulate spatial and temporal wildfire probability changes: (1) the accumulated difference between daily precipitation and potential evapotranspiration (P - E); (2) simulated moisture content of the top 10 cm of soil; and (3) the Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI). These indices were estimated from gridded meterological data and Mosaic-simulated soil moisture data available from the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2). The relationships between normalized fire potential index deviations and the probability of at least one fire occurring during the following five consecutive days were evaluated using a 23-year (1986-2008) forest fire record for an evenly spaced grid (0.25° x 0.25°) across the state of Mississippi's coastal plain. Two periods were selected and examined (January-mid June and mid September-December). There was good agreement between the observed and logistic model-fitted fire probabilities over the study area during both seasons. The fire potential indices based on the top 10 cm soil moisture and KBDI had the largest impact on wildfire odds, increasing it by almost 2 times in response to each unit change of the corresponding fire potential index during January-mid-June period and by nearly 1.5 times during mid-September-December. These results suggest that soil moisture-based fire potential indices are good indicators of fire occurrence probability across this region. 相似文献

Errors are considered in the outer zone contribution to oceanic undulation differences as obtained from a set of potential
coefficients complete to degree 180. It is assumed that the gravity data of the inner zone (a spherical cap), consisting of
either gravity anomalies or gravity disturbances, has negligible error. This implies that error estimates of the total undulation
difference are analyzed. If the potential coefficients are derived from a global field of 1°×1° mean anomalies accurate to
εΔg=10 mgal, then for a cap radius of 10°, the undulation difference error (for separations between 100 km and 2000 km) ranges
from 13 cm to 55 cm in the gravity anomaly case and from 6 cm to 36 cm in the gravity disturbance case. If εΔg is reduced to 1 mgal, these errors in both cases are less than 10 cm. In the absence of a spherical cap, both cases yield
identical error estimates: about 68 cm if εΔg=1 mgal (for most separations) and ranging from 93 cm to 160 cm if εΔg=10 mgal. Introducing a perfect 30-degree reference field, the latter errors are reduced to about 110 cm for most separations. 相似文献

AbstractAs part of the scientific work of the British North Greenland Expedition (1952–1954), a programme of trigonometrical levelling was carried out from the east to the west coast of Greenland, along a line across the inland ice between latitudes 76° 40′ N., and 78° 10′ N. The primary purpose of the work was to determine accurately the heights above sea level of a series of gravity stations, the gravity measurements being made in connection with determinations of ice thickness. For meteorological purposes it was necessary to know also the altitude of the Expedition's central station, situated in latitude 78° 04′ N., longitude 38° 29′ W. The accuracy necessary for the purpose of the gravity survey was a few metres for the altitudes, while the latitude of each gravity station had to be determined with an accuracy of ± 0.1 minute. 相似文献
