Combining EGM2008 with GOCE Gravity Models [PDF]
The most advanced global gravity model, EGM2008, is nowadays competing with local models in terms of resolution and accuracy in the definition of the Earth gravity field. This global model, complete to spherical harmonic degree and order 2159, is however affected by several biases mainly due to datum inconsistencies and variability of the input ...

Computing the Deflection of the Vertical for Improving Aerial Surveys: A Comparison between EGM2008 and ITALGEO05 Estimates [PDF]
Recent studies on the influence of the anomalous gravity field in GNSS/INS applications have shown that neglecting the impact of the deflection of vertical in aerial surveys induces horizontal and vertical errors in the measurement of an object that is part of the observed scene; these errors can vary from a few tens of centimetres to over one meter ...

THE DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF AN EGM2008 GEOID MODEL FOR SENEGAL. [PDF]
In Senegal, the use of GPS Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technology to give a planimetric position on the WGS84 ellipsoid has increased considerably in recent decades. However, the problem of altitude posed by this technology presents the engineers a complex obstacle, since it is necessary to determine with precision the orthometric ...

GECO: a global gravity model by locally combining GOCE data and EGM2008 [PDF]
The EGM2008 model is nowadays one of the description of the global gravitational field at the highest resolution. It is delivered with two, not fully consistent, sources of information on its error: spherical harmonic coefficient variances and a geographical map of error variances, e.g. in terms of geoid undulation.

A High-Resolution Earth’s Gravity Field Model SGG-UGM-2 from GOCE, GRACE, Satellite Altimetry, and EGM2008 [PDF]
This paper focuses on estimating a new high-resolution Earth’s gravity field model named SGG-UGM-2 from satellite gravimetry, satellite altimetry, and Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008)-derived gravity data based on the theory of the ellipsoidal ...

ADAPTATION OF THE GLOBAL GEOID MODEL EGM2008 ON CAMPANIA REGION (ITALY) BASED ON GEODETIC NETWORK POINTS [PDF]
Abstract. The knowledge of the geoid undulation, the height of the geoid relative to a given ellipsoid of reference, is fundamental to transform the ellipsoidal heights into orthometric heights. Global geoid undulation models developed from satellite gravity measurements appropriately integrated with other data, are free accessible in internet, but ...

Testing EGM2008 on Leveling Data from Scandinavia, Adjacent Baltic Areas, and Greenland [PDF]
We tested EGM2008 on GPS/leveling data from Scandinavia and adjacent areas. EGM2008 performs at the same level as the best regional geoid model, NKG2004. However, the direct evaluation of EGM2008 is difficult in Greenland because no leveling data are available. Nevertheless, we show on 78 GPS-MSS data that EGM2008 also performs at the same level as the

An Algorithm for Strapdown Airborne Gravity Disturbance Vector Measurement Based on High-Precision Navigation and EGM2008. [PDF]
Attitude errors, accelerometer bias, the gravity disturbance vector, and their coupling are the primary factors obstructing strapdown airborne vector gravimetry. This paper takes the geocentric inertial frame as a reference and solves the kinematic equations of its motion and its errors of the body frame and local geographic frame in the Lie group ...

Analyse des globalen Geopotentialmodells EGM2008 und des Europäischen Geoids EGG08 [PDF]
There are several gravitational models for geodetic, geophysical or oceanographic applications and investigations. Usually these are spherical harmonic models of the Earth-s gravitational potential, which are developed by a combination of satellite tracking data, satellite altimeter data and gridded mean free-air anomalies. More detailed regional geoid

On the determination of a new combined EGM2008 based quasi-geoid model for Hungary [PDF]
A new quasi-geoid model for Hungary was determined by combining gravity data, GPS/levelling and vertical deflections. Reduction of the measurements was performed by using Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008) and Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) elevation data sets.
