Description
Summary:plinary project combining geodesy, satellite altimetry and oceanography. The main objective is to enhance the Norwegian capacity in Earth observation technolo-gies through determining the ocean circulation and trans-port by using satellite techniques in combination with geodesy. The primary study area is the Fram Strait be-tween Svalbard and Greenland. A vital objective is the determination of a high precision gravimetric geoid for the OCTAS study area. This re-quires an error free high quality gravimetric dataset. The process of establishing such a data set by adjusting older marine data through comparison with modern airborne and marine gravity data sets is described. Combining this updated gravity data set with data from the CHAMP and GRACE satellites an OCTAS geoid has been computed.
