Analysis and Simulation of Multisensor Gravity Surveys. Volume 1.

Abstract

A new general methodology is developed for the determination of the statistics of multisensor survey residual gravity. The method is ideally suited for the design of multisensor surveys to achieve a desired level of gravity recovery accuracy. Survey types considered consist of any combination of satellite radar altimetry, high-low satellite-to-satellite tracking, shipborne or land-based gravimetry and airborne gradiometry. Several examples of the results obtained with the methodology are included. Keywords: Gravity surveys; Gravimetric sensors; Satellite radar altimeters; Satellite-to-satellite tracking; Gravity gradiometer; Gravity field model. (Author)
