Presentation transcript:

motivation: much of the deep ocean floor is uncharted by ships high spatial resolution gravity can reveal tectonic fabric, uncharted seamounts, and seafloor roughness objectives: spatial resolution < 6 km (1/2 wavelength) accuracy < 2 mGal (* published in: The Leading Edge, August, 2013) Towards 1 MilliGal Global Marine Gravity from CryoSat, Envisat, and Jason-1* David Sandwell Emmanuel Garcia Khalid Soofi Paul Wessel Walter H. F. Smith

higher accuracy = improved range precision + improved coverage why retracking is essential for optimal gravity accuracy retracking improves range precision by 1.5 times and reduces “spectral hump” current gravity accuracy (V22.1 grid) some tectonic examples Towards 1 MilliGal Global Marine Gravity from CryoSat, Envisat, and Jason-1

Geosat – descending (18 mo. old)

ERS-1 – descending (12 mo. old)

Envisat – descending (new)

CryoSat-2 – descending (34 mo. new)

Jason-1 – ascending (14 mo. new)

1 Hz data has inadequate spatial resolution

2-pass retracking to improve range precision 1) retrack waveforms with standard 3-parameter model 2) smooth wave height and amplitude over 40-km 3) retrack waveforms with 2- parameter model Note: this assumes wave height varies smoothly along track. [Sandwell and Smith, GJI, 2005 ]

Conclusions “newer” altimeters have 1.4 times better range precision and 2 times better coverage. 2-pass waveform retracking provides 1.5 times range precision for all altimeters and reduces “spectral hump”. Marine gravity accuracy is currently 1.6 – 3.5 mGal with most improvement in the 13 – 40 km wavelength band. Most academic fleet ship gravity is less accurate than altimeter gravity. The new V22 gravity has less filtering but lower noise so subtle tectonic features are now apparent. We have not performed any long-wavelength corrections to the data so some corrections may improve areas of high mesoscale variability.

V22 – CryoSat-2, Jason-1, Envisat, ERS-1, Geosat V18 – ERS-1, Geosat What is the contribution from each altimeter? Do we still need ERS-1 and Geosat? actual gravity improvement total improvement

CryoSat-2 provides significant noise reduction over all latitude bands. Jason-1 mainly improves east component between +/- 66. improvement

Envisat provides greatest noise reduction in Arctic and Antarctic. Geosat improves east component at low latitudes and east component in latitude band improvement

First attempt at comparing all academic fleet ship gravity (1500 cruises) with V21.1 satellite gravity courtesy of Paul Wessel. The median absolute deviation between academic fleet gravity and satellite gravity is 2.75 mGal.  Most academic fleet cruises are less accurate than the satellite gravity.
