Global derivation of marine gravity anomalies from Seasat, Geosat, ERS-1 and TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter data
Marine gravity anomalies over the area 82°S, to 82°N and 0°E to 360°E on a 2′ × 2′ grid have been derived from Seasat, Geosat, ERS-1 and TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter data. The inverse Vening Meinesz formula with a 1-D FFT method was used to compute gravity anomalies from gridded north-south and west-eas...
