Iberia-Azores Gravity Model (IAGRM) using multi-source gravity data
Abstract A consistent high precision and high resolution gravity model in the north-east Atlantic off Iberia peninsula using multi-source gravity data, ship-borne and satellite derived gravity anomalies, is presented. A solution strategy based on least squares optimal interpolation was used to assim...

Abstract A consistent high precision and high resolution gravity model in the north-east Atlantic off Iberia peninsula using multi-source gravity data, ship-borne and satellite derived gravity anomalies, is presented.

Satellite derived gravity anomalies from KMS02 model, with an error covariance of 25 mGal 2 , and marine data carefully edited and validated by bias crossover error adjustment, were used in this study. The observation error variance was determined from ship-borne track adjustment and assigned an independent value for each track determined from error variance propagation.
