Water surface height determination with a GPS wave glider: a demonstration in Loch Ness, Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A geodetic GPS receiver has been installed on a Wave Glider, an unmanned water surface vehicle. Using kinematic precise point positioning (PPP) GPS, which operates globally without directly requiring reference stations, surface heights are measured with ~

Covariance function modelling in local geodetic applications using the simplex method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Collocation has been widely applied in geodesy for estimating the gravity field of the Earth both locally and globally. Particularly, this is the standard geodetic method used to combine all the available data to get an integrated estimate of any ...

Evaluation of EGM2008 by means of GPS Levelling Uganda

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Geomatics, 2014
The global gravity model EGM2008 is evaluated in various regions of Uganda to assess if it is good enough for geodetic applications. The evaluation method involves comparison of geoid heights computed from the model with those computed at irregularly distributed GPS Levelling stations.

On the Accuracy of EGM2008 with Measured Data Based on Strap-down Airborne Gravimetry [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2015 2nd International Workshop on Materials Engineering and Computer Sciences, 2015
Gravity survey is an important research topic in geophysics and geodynamics. This paper analyzes the accuracy of EGM2008, the newest Earth gravitational model, in two areas in Shandong Province of China. By comparing the gravity anomaly data from the model with those obtained by a strap-down airborne gravimeter called SGA-WZ, it shows that error ...

ANALYSIS OF THE GRAVITY MODELS IMPACT ON LEO SATELLITE ORBIT PREDICTION [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022
Non-spherical gravity plays a crucial role in the LEO satellite orbit determination and prediction. In recent years, several new gravity models have been proposed with more comprehensive ground and space-borne data.

Vertical Deflections and Gravity Disturbances Derived from HY-2A Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
The first Chinese altimetry satellite, Haiyang-2A (HY-2A), which was launched in 2011, has provided a large amount of sea surface heights which can be used to derive marine gravity field.

Conservative evaluation of the uncertainty in the LAGEOS-LAGEOS II Lense-Thirring test

open access: yes, 2009
We deal with the test of the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense-Thirring effect currently ongoing in the Earth's gravitational field with the combined nodes \Omega of the laser-ranged geodetic satellites LAGEOS and LAGEOS II.

Improved Geoid Determination Based on the Shallow-Layer Method: A Case Study Using EGM08 and CRUST2.0 in the Xinjiang and Tibetan Regions

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013
In this paper we present the concepts and realization of the shallow-layer Shen geoid determination method, which is quite different from the classical geoid modeling methods (Stokes¡¦ method, Molodenskii¡¦s method, etc.), for determining the global or ...

Evaluation of ultra-high degree gravity field models: a case study of Eastern Tibetan Plateau and Sichuan Province

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2022
This study validates the ultra-high-degree gravity field models in terms of the internal error estimate and the external precision. Internal error estimate is evaluated by geoid error degree variance and cumulative geoid height errors.
