چکیده
The development of the Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008) model is a significant contribution for modeling the Earth’s gravity and geoid. Recently, it can be confidently used versus geometric models following a simple refinement procedure. Several studies show that, EGM2008 can reach the accuracy of regional or local geoid models after modeling the differences between the GPS-leveling geoid heights and EGM2008 derived geoid heights at identified control points. The study focuses on a corrector surface fitting (CSF) approach based on radial basis functions (RBF) as improvement procedure for EGM2008. A detailed mathematical model and solution algorithm of the proposed model is given, and it has been applied in different test areas covering the city borders of Bursa, Konya, Denizli and Gaziantep in Turkey. Accuracy of the improved model was evaluated in scattered check points within test regions. The geoid heights of all check points obtained by GPS-leveling measurements were compared with the geoid heights obtained from improved model. The discrepancies between the calculated and measured geoid heights were analyzed and discussed.

An evaluation of recent GOCE geopotential models in Brazil
Several global geopotential models based on Gravity eld and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) data have been published in the last two years. Some of these models use combinations of different satellite missions, while others use only GOCE data. This paper presents the evaluation and analysis of each approach using GOCE data in the Southeast of Brazil. Two assessments have beenmade...
متن کاملRTM gravity forward-modeling using topography/bathymetry data to improve high-degree global geopotential models in the coastal zone
We apply the residual terrain modeling (RTM) technique for gravity forward-modeling to successfully improve high-resolution global gravity fields at short spatial scales in coastal zones. The RTM scheme is combined with the concept of rock-equivalent topography, allowing to use a single uniform constant mass-density in the RTM forward-modeling, both at land and sea. SRTM30_PLUS bathymetry is me...
متن کاملImproved Geoid Determination Based on the Shallow-Layer Method: A Case Study Using EGM08 and CRUST2.0 in the Xinjiang and Tibetan Regions
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, Molodenskiĭ’s method, etc.), for determining the global or regional geoids. This method takes full advantage of the precise Earth gravity field model EGM2008, digital topographic model DTM2006.0 and global...

SRTM/DTM2006.0 residual terrain model data to improve quasigeoid computations in mountainous areas devoid of gravity data, Journal of Geodesy 84(9): 557-567. Abstract: A global geopotential model, like EGM2008, is not capable of representing the high-frequency components of Earth's gravity field. This is known as the omission error. In mountainous terrain, omission errors in EGM2008, even when ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the EGM2008 Gravity Field by Means of GPS- Levelling and Sea Surface Topography Solutions
The new EGM2008 global gravity field model is evaluated by comparisons of geoid heights computed from the model with those available at GPS levelling stations in various regions and by computing sea surface topography solutions from the difference between the mean sea surface and the geoid from this model. In order to identify how good the model performs the same tests also are performed for ot...
