Description
Summary:These data sets form a major update and enhancement of a first data publication in 2016 (Scheinert et al. 2016: doi:10.1002/2015GL067439, PANGAEA: doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.848168). Ground-based and airborne gravity data were compiled in the frame of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) SC2.4f Gravity and Geoid in Antarctica (AntGG). Since 2016 important data have been acquired, primarily applying the method of airborne gravimetry, to close existing data gaps, especially over the south polar region. These data were measured during different projects where a number of institutions underwent close cooperations to fund and to realize specific campaigns, among others, Alfred Wegener Institute (Germany), DTU Space (Denmark), British Antarctic Survey (United Kingdom), Norwegian Polar Institute (Norway), National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (USA), and European Space Agency. Important steps in the set-up and processing compared to the AntGG2016 solution include: increase in grid resolution from 10 to 5 km; ... : All data sets come as netCDF files with a grid resolution of 5 km by 5 km, and contain, besides the respective functional, the surface height (ice surface, bedrock topography in ice-free areas) from Bedmap2 (as ellipsoidal heights).Coordinate reference system (CRS): Antarctic Polar Stereographic, EPSG3031, datum: WGS84Units: gravity anomaly and standard deviation, gravity disturbance, Bouguer anomaly: mGal = 10e-5 m/s²height anomaly: msecond derivative of dist. potential: E.U. = 10e-4 1/s² (E.U. = Eötvös Unit)coordinates (x, y): mellipsoidal height: m ...
