1 Global altimetric marine gravity field mapping The impact of Cryosat-2 Ole B. Andersen and L. Stenseng Acknowledging support/data and coorporation with the NGA (US) And retracked ERS from P. Berry (UK)

2 EGU Vienna, April 2012 2DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Outline Satellite altimetry – State of the art gravity Cryosat-2 (what it offers) – ”new geodetic mission”. Noise estimation (20 Hz vs 1 Hz) for Gravity DTU12 Beta.

3 EGU Vienna, April 2012 3DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark The (mean) Sea surface height mimicks the geoid Gravity from MDT corrected MSS (= Geoid) Laplace sea mount Gravity field 1 mGal -> Alongtrack heights differences over 10 km need to be accurate to <1 cm

Currently investigating ESA L2 LRM vs NOAA LRM data. Including Retracked L1 CRYOSAT SAR and SAR-In data Has to solve for ”mode jumps first” Updating all existing GM data.

14 EGU Vienna, April 2012 14DTU Space, Technical University of Denmark Summary ESA L2 LRM are very good for marine gravity Processor upg (2.1-2.4) removes spikes and is better for SAR-In But increases noise for LRM Jumps between modes are clear and needs to be handled Current Cryosat 2 data are comparable to retracked GM altimetry Aims at releasing DTU12 at “20 years progress of altimetry” Jason-1 EOL Geodetic Mission ?
