The altimetric component is fundamental for a variety of scientific and engineering applications, such as topographic and geodesic surveying, coastal studies, engineering projects, dams, irrigation ...

Abstract: The lack of marine gravimetric measurements and the presence of severely contaminated altimetry data pose multiple challenges in high-quality quasi-geoid (QG) and mean dynamic topography ...

Earth carries an invisible ocean “water level” called the geoid. If only gravity and rotation shaped the oceans, the surface would match that geoid everywhere. However, south of India, the geoid sinks ...

The Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), a significant gravitational anomaly, has puzzled scientists for decades. Research suggests it formed due to interactions between tectonic plates and mantle plumes ...

Abstract: The potential of using airborne gravity gradient tensor (GGT) for coastal quasi-geoid (QG) refinement is explored, and the contributions introduced from individual GGT components and their ...

The European Space Agency’s ACES mission could ultimately pave the way for a global network of atomic clocks that make these measurements far more accurate. In 2003, engineers from Germany and ...

Indian scientists have uncovered the possible cause behind the Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL), the lowest geoid anomaly on Earth or “Gravity Hole,” where Earth’s gravitational pull is weaker, its mass ...

It is found in the depths of Indian Ocean and named as the gravity hole or Indian Ocean geoid low, an anomaly on earth where gravity is said to be weaker, and levels of sea dip by more than 328 feet ...
