Interferometric Range Transceiver for Measuring Temporal Gravity Variations
We report on interferometric range transceiver technology demonstration. The goal of this work is to reduce risk for a follow-on gravity mission to the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) by demonstrating performance of a heterodyne interferometric laser ranging instrument appropriate for a follow-on gravity mission to GRACE at the NASA Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6. In order t...
متن کاملDo climate variations explain bilateral migration? A gravity model analysis
© A m Abstract: This paper investigates to what extent international migration can be explained by climatic variations. A gravity model of migration augmented with average temperature and precipitation in the country of origin is estimated using a panel data set of 142 sending countries for the period 1995 to 2006. We find two primary results. First, temperature is positively correlated with mi...
متن کاملDynamic topography, gravity and the role of lateral viscosity variations from inversion of global mantle flow
S U M M A R Y Lateral viscosity variations (LVVs) in the mantle influence geodynamic processes and their surface expressions. With the observed long-wavelength geoid, free-air anomaly, gravity gradient in three directions and discrete, high-accuracy residual topography, we invert for depthand temperature-dependent and tectonically regionalized mantle viscosity with a mantle flow model. The inve...
متن کاملPossible Time Variations of G in Scalar-tensor Theories of Gravity
We estimate the possible variations of the gravitational constant G in the framework of a generalized (BergmannWagoner-Nordtvedt) scalar-tensor theory of gravity on the basis of the field equations, without using their special solutions. Specific estimates are essentially related to the values of other cosmological parameters (the Hubble and acceleration parameters, the dark matter density etc....
متن کاملSymmetric Variations of the Metric and Extrema of the Action for Pure Gravity
Symmetries of generalized gravitational actions, yielding field equations which typically involve at most second-order derivatives of the metric, are considered. The field equations for several different higher-derivative theories in the first-order formalism are derived, and variations of a generic set of higher-order curvature terms appearing in string effective actions are studied. It is sho...
