Mapping the geoid for Iberia and the Macaronesian Islands using multisensor gravity data and the GRACE geopotential model
Abstract A new gravimetric geoid model (ICAGM07) has been determined for the North-East Atlantic Ocean, Iberia, and the Macaronesian Islands using multi-sensor gravity data and a GRACE derived Earth geopotential model. A high resolution gravity model, determined using least squares optimal interpola...
