Preliminary Estimation and Validation of Polar Motion Excitation from Different Types of the GRACE and GRACE Follow-On Missions Data

Although GRACE satellites are not able to realistically detect the second zonal parameter (DC20) of geopotential associated with the flattening of the Earth, they can accurately determine variations in degree-2 order-1 (DC21, DS21) coefficients that are proportional to variations in polar motion. Therefore, GRACE measurements are commonly exploited to interpret polar motion changes due to variations in the global mass redistribution, especially in the continental hydrosphere and cryosphere. Such impacts are usually examined by computing the so-called hydrological polar motion excitation (HAM) and cryospheric polar motion excitation (CAM), often analyzed together as HAM/CAM. The great success of the GRACE mission and the scientific robustness of its data contributed to the launch of its successor, GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO), which began in May 2018 and continues to the present. This study presents the first estimates of HAM/CAM computed from GRACE-FO data provided by three data centers: Center for Space Research (CSR), Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ). -
Detection of Caves by Gravimetry
Detection of Caves by Gravimetry By HAnlUi'DO J. Cmco1) lVi/h plates 18 (1)-21 (4) Illtroduction A growing interest in locating caves - largely among non-speleolo- gists - has developed within the last decade, arising from industrial or military needs, such as: (1) analyzing subsUl'face characteristics for building sites or highway projects in karst areas; (2) locating shallow caves under airport runways constructed on karst terrain covered by a thin residual soil; and (3) finding strategic shelters of tactical significance. As a result, geologists and geophysicists have been experimenting with the possibility of applying standard geophysical methods toward void detection at shallow depths. Pioneering work along this line was accomplishecl by the U.S. Geological Survey illilitary Geology teams dUl'ing World War II on Okinawan airfields. Nicol (1951) reported that the residual soil covel' of these runways frequently indicated subsi- dence due to the collapse of the rooves of caves in an underlying coralline-limestone formation (partially detected by seismic methods). In spite of the wide application of geophysics to exploration, not much has been published regarding subsUl'face interpretation of ground conditions within the upper 50 feet of the earth's surface. Recently, however, Homberg (1962) and Colley (1962) did report some encoUl'ag- ing data using the gravity technique for void detection. This led to the present field study into the practical means of how this complex method can be simplified, and to a use-and-limitations appraisal of gravimetric techniques for speleologic research. Principles all(1 Correctiolls The fundamentals of gravimetry are based on the fact that natUl'al 01' artificial voids within the earth's sUl'face - which are filled with ail' 3 (negligible density) 01' water (density about 1 gmjcm ) - have a remark- able density contrast with the sUl'roun<ling rocks (density 2.0 to 1) 4609 Keswick Hoad, Baltimore 10, Maryland, U.S.A. -

Determination of the geoid by airborne methods relies on the development of airborne gravimetry, which in turn is dependent on developments in kinematic GPS. Routine accuracy of airborne gravimetry are now at the 2 mGal level, which may translate into 5–10 cm geoid accuracy on regional scales. The error behaviour of airborne gravimetry is well-suited for geoid determination, with high-frequency survey and downward continuation noise being offset by the low-pass gravity to geoid filtering operation. In the paper the basic principles of airborne geoid determination are outlined, and examples of results of recent airborne gravity and geoid surveys in the North Sea and Greenland are given. 1.

Analysis of Different Methodologies to Calculate Bouguer Gravity Anomalies in the Argentine Continental Margin
Geosciences 2014, 4(2): 33-41 DOI: 10.5923/j.geo.20140402.02 Analysis of Different Methodologies to Calculate Bouguer Gravity Anomalies in the Argentine Continental Margin Ana C. Pedraza De Marchi1,2,*, Marta E. Ghidella3, Claudia N. Tocho1 1Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Facultad de Ciencias Astronómicas y Geofísicas, La Plata, 1900, Argentina 2CONICET, Concejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina 3Instituto Antártico Argentino, Buenos Aires, C1064AAF, Argentina Abstract We have tested and used two methods to determine the Bouguer gravity anomaly in the area of the Argentine continental margin. The first method employs the relationship between the topography and gravity anomaly in the Fourier transform domain using Parker’s expression for different orders of expansion. The second method computes the complete Bouguer correction (Bullard A, B and C) with the Fortran code FA2BOUG2. The Bouguer slab correction (Bullard A), the curvature correction (Bullard B) and the terrain correction (Bullard C) are computed in several zones according to the distances between the topography and the calculation point. In each zone, different approximations of the gravitational attraction of rectangular or conic prisms are used according to the surrounding topography. Our calculations show that the anomaly generated by the fourth order in Parker’s expansion is actually compatible with the traditional Bouguer anomaly calculated with FA2BOUG, and that higher orders do not introduce significant changes. The comparison reveals that the difference between both methods in the Argentine continental margin has a quasi bimodal statistical distribution. The main disadvantage in using routines based on Parker's expansion is that an average value of the topography is needed for the calculation and, as the margin has an abrupt change of the topography in the continental slope area, it causes a bimodal distribution. -

Geoid Determination Based on a Combination of Terrestrial and Airborne Gravity Data in South Korea
Geoid Determination based on a Combination of Terrestrial and Airborne Gravity Data in South Korea DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hyo Jin Yang Graduate Program in Geodetic Science and Surveying The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Christopher Jekeli, Advisor Professor Michael Bevis Professor Ralph R.B. von Frese Copyright by Hyo Jin Yang 2014 ABSTRACT The regional gravimetric geoid model for South Korea is developed by using heterogeneous data such as gravimetric measurements, a global geopotential model, and a high resolution digital topographic model. A highly accurate gravimetric geoid model, which is a basis to support the construction of the efficient and less costly height system with GPS, requires many gravimetric observations and these are acquired by several kinds of sensors or on platforms. Especially airborne gravimetry has been widely employed to measure the earth’s gravity field in last three decades, as well as the traditional measurements on the earth’s physical surface. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the characters of each gravimetric measurement, such as the measurement surface and involved topography, and also to integrate these to a unified gravimetric data base which refers to the same gravitational field. This dissertation illustrates the methods for combining two types of available gravity data for South Korea, one is terrestrial data obtained on the earth’s surface and another is airborne data measured at altitude, and shows an accessible accuracy of the geoid model based on these data. -
